Community Book Clubs
Community Book Clubs are led and organized by a volunteer who will choose a genre, name, and a meeting schedule for their Book Club. We can offer our outside patio as a meeting area, or you can choose to meet elsewhere in town. All Community Book Clubs will be featured on this page with a brief description and contact information for others to join.
If you're interested in starting your own Community Book Club, email us at hello@spellboundbookstore.net with the subject line Community Book Club Inquiry or use the contact form.

How It Works & FAQ
Starting December 15th, 2022:
Book Clubs are announced the 15th of the month for the upcoming month (e.g. Dec 15th announcement for Jan book club). We will meet at Book Club to discuss the selected book.
You must sign-up for the Book Club of your choice following the announcement. Sign-ups take place from the 15th to the end of the month. A sign-up puts a hold on your book and your seat. If the form is full, that means we have reached the maximum number of seats available. You can email us to be added to the Wait List.
Purchase your book by the pick-up deadline to confirm your spot and receive a Book Club member discount! Books will be available for purchase the same day as sign-ups go live, so you can sign-up and pick up your book the same day. The pick-up deadline is the end of the first week of the month (e.g. Jan 7 is the pick up deadline for Jan Book Club).
We will hold all books until the pick-up deadline of the 7th. After the deadline, if there is a Wait List, those on the list will be contacted to purchase a book. Any remaining books will be shelved and can be purchased while supplies last for anyone wanting to join us last minute.
If you cannot make it to Book Club, let us know as early as possible.
FAQ's
How do I sign-up? Click on the SIGN-UP HERE link above to sign up.
Do I have to sign-up first before purchasing the book? Yes. You can sign up online or in-store. Each spot is equivalent to a seat. Sign-ups serve to make sure we have enough seating for everyone in our small back room.
Can I sign-up and pick up my book that same day? Yes, starting December 15th, we will have books on-hand that same day. If you complete the sign-up form (and are not on the Wait List), you can purchase your book the day of.
What happens if I've already bought the book? If you purchased the book previously at our store, we can look up your purchase in our system and can confirm you. Otherwise you can purchase another book of equal value and let the cashier know that you've already signed up and your purchase is going towards confirming your spot for Book Club.
How can I be added to the Wait List? Email us with your name and the Book Club you want to attend at hello@spellboundbookstore.net or use the contact form on our website.
I'm on the Wait List. Can I purchase a book before the pick-up deadline? No, books are reserved for those on the sign-up list. If they don't pick up their book by the pick-up deadline, we will contact those on the Wait List to let them know a book is available for purchase. This ensures we don't accidentally give away a book that has been reserved. Since every book is equal to a seat, it also ensures we have enough seats to accommodate everyone.
