Book Club Registration
Ipswich Libraries offers Book Clubs the opportunity to register your book club with us. This allows you to check out the books from the Book Club Sets. The Book Club Coordinator can fill out the Book Club Registration Form here.
Book Club Membership
There are two types of book club membership; Book Club Coordinators and Book Club Members. Each membership type can be obtained by filling in the registration form here and selecting the appropriate membership type. If you are a new Library Member, after registering you will need to go to an Ipswich Libraries branch to pick up your library card – please note: you will need to provide verification of your ID at the Library. Existing Library Members will have the extra book club privileges added to their existing library membership card. Each member will be responsible for checking out one copy of the book in the Book Club Set.

The Book Club Coordinator is responsible for registering the club, updating the club’s details, and placing reservations on the Book Club Sets.
