Kia ora booklovers! Renee here from Book Discussion Scheme. I just wanted to let you know about a great way to connect with other local bookworms: BDS Book Clubs!

BDS makes running a book club easy and fun. We provide your club with a complete set of books each month — enough copies for everyone to read the same book at the same time — as well as discussion notes to help you get the most out of your meetings.

You choose your books from our catalogue of over 1,100 titles and we take care of the rest!

Find out more about how to start your own book club today.
