How to get Free Books for Your Book Club?

stack of books


Did you know that most books are published in the fall? Since we spend more time indoors during the colder months, joining a book club might be a good idea. The first known book club dates back to the 18th century and became popular in Europe and America. Book clubs are a great way to bond with friends and meet new people, all while enhancing your social well-being. You could even start a book club with your spouse.

Here are 3 ways you could get books for free


Why the library?
IIf you have a library card, you probably have access to more books than you can imagine. The library is a great place to start when looking for books for a small book club. A librarian can help you locate multiple pairs of books from the libraries closest to you. You could even use the space to meet with club members. Some libraries have rooms that you can rent for personal use. I'm sure your book club members will be thrilled to save money on a book or two.


Another great benefit of the library is the opportunity to meet local authors. Visit your library's website to find events featuring authors in your area. This could be a fun activity for your group to attend. Don't forget your pens and bookmarks!

Have you heard of Project Gutenburg?

In a nutshell, Project Gutenberg is an online library full of free eBooks. The project's mission is to encourage the creation and distribution of eBooks. There is no sign-up or cost for accessing the materials, though you can freely make a donation. You don't need a special device to download the eBooks, making this resource beneficial for an eco-friendly book club. With any digital download, paid or free, please be mindful of what you download and where you download it from.

The site is said to have over 70,000 books listed. By the time you finish reading this article, another book may have been added. That's enough books for generations to come to enjoy. Self-published reads are also available.

Last but not least, consider a simple book exchange. Find another book club to swap books with; this is a great way to save money, network, and discover some interesting material. We recommend finding a local book club instead of an online group.

Here are some tips:

  • Have one or two club members in charge of the swap.
  • Meet in a public place with the other club members.
  • Search online for local book clubs in your area.

We hope this article has given you some ideas on how to get books for your book club for free. We recommend trying each option to see which resource works best for you. The library, Project Gutenberg, and exchanging books with other clubs could all be great ideas for your club. Happy reading!
