Looking for your next great read—and better book club conversations? Join librarians from across Maryland for a lively virtual program packed with reading recommendations, practical discussion tips, and a little literary fun.

Hear from Maryland librarians about the titles they’re especially excited to share, introducing a range of standout reads to add to your TBR pile. Whether you love fiction, nonfiction, hidden gems, or buzzy new releases, you’ll come away with fresh ideas for what to read next. We also dive into book club strategy: how to spark meaningful conversation, what to do when a book falls flat, and where to find discussion guides, questions, and other helpful resources. Whether you are a member of a book club, lead a long-running group, or are thinking about starting one, you’ll pick up practical tips you can use right away.

Come for the book picks, stay for the conversation, and leave with plenty of stories to stack onto your reading list.

A Maryland Libraries Together program presented by Harford County Public Library, Allegany County Library, Baltimore County Public Library, and Howard County Library System.
