How to Start a Book Club in Your 55+ Apartment Community

Starting a book club in your apartment building can be a rewarding experience. For residents aged 55 and over, it offers a chance to bond with neighbors and engage in meaningful discussions.

Benefits of a Book Club in an Adult Living Community

Creating social groups in our active adult community helps you build long-lasting friendships. A book club allows you to share ideas, absorb new information, and get to know your neighbors. If you’re ready to discover new authors, see below and learn how to start your own club.

Tips to Organize a Book Club with Your Neighbors

  • Gauge Interest: Start by talking to your friends. See who’s interested in joining a book club. Post flyers in common areas or send out an email to your community to start pitching book ideas for the first months/weeks.
  • Choose a Meeting Spot: Find a comfortable spot in your apartment building. The residents’ clubhouse would be a great choice. You can also enjoy reading in the fresh air of Fremont and gather at the outdoor furniture and fireplace.
  • Set Date and Time: Pick a regular meeting time that works for most members. Twice-a-month meetings are a good start; keep it flexible but stay on schedule.

The Basics to Start a Book Club

Let’s make this wonderful idea a reality. You’ll only need:

  • The First Book: Choose a book that everyone agrees on. Consider alternating genres to keep things interesting, as well as choosing how many chapters you’ll read before the next session.
  • Discussion Questions: Prepare some questions to spark discussion. You can find these online or come up with your own.
  • Refreshments: A tray with popular snacks and drinks makes meetings more enjoyable.

Start Small and Let The Group Flow

When forming your book club, just start small. Invite a few friends or neighbors and let it grow organically. Smaller groups encourage deeper conversations and ensure everyone gets a chance to speak.
