725 Street Road Cochranville, PA 19330 
The Little Free Library 
Book Club

​Location:

1016B PA Route 41, Cochranville, 19330

Upcoming - 2021
The Little Free Library's Book Club – No Homework Required! will resume on Zoom the third Saturday of January, at 2pm and will continue every other month throughout 2021. Simply email us to join or for more information.
ZOOM LINK
The Little Free Library's Book Club is the place to come together to share your current, past, and future reading with others. Rather than focusing on one book, we gather to discuss and compare notes on our own reading, and often find fellow travelers while discovering new suggestions. 

Currently, we are meeting over Zoom
Throughout 2021, will meet online the third Saturday every other month: 
​January 16, March 20, May 15, July 17, September 18, and November 20

As/when social distancing recommendations relax we may move back to meeting in person at the LFL in Cochranville, but our sessions will continue to have a way to connect with the group online, as we have discovered that people near and far enjoy joining in.

Email us to join the group.
Email us if you would like receive our Little Free Library mailing list for this and related events.
​
Connect on our Facebook Page to discuss books, and to make recommendations. If you are interested but unable to make a meeting, we'd love for you to email a couple lines about your current recommended book(s), and we will share.


Suggested books from our book club participants, arranged in no particular order but grouped by meeting date.

Note: Support independent booksellers! Links here connect you to bookshop.org, which is a great place to purchase books online, if you are not shopping at your local independent bookstore: ten percent of profits are distributed among independent bookstores that are part of the collective.

A word about 'here':
We acknowledge that we are on the ancestral lands of the Lenape, original people of the mid-Atlantic area, forced west by British and US governments. Most Delaware Indian tribe descendants are now located in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario. Lenni Lenapes in Pennsylvania are not officially recognized as tribes by the United States, though an estimated 5000 Lenape Nation descendants live in the Delaware River area. We pay respects to the Lenape people both past and present. Please consider the many legacies of violence, displacement and settlement that form part of our collective histories. While increased public recognition of these legacies and processes of redress such as Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission are positive steps, concrete focus on return of land and land rights remains a distant horizon.
