An investigation into how book clubs are responding and adapting to the extraordinary events of 2020, and the implications for the future
by Bookbrowse
This report is recommended for librarians, booksellers, publishers and authors; and for book club members looking to gain insight into how other groups have responded to the events of 2020.
BookBrowse has surveyed readers and book clubbers for more than 15 years. Over this time we have seen many relatively slow shifts including the growth in book clubs themselves, how people buy books and the formats that they read in.
However, 2020 has been different-for all of us; so many aspects of our lives have been impacted by recent events. So, in October 2020 we surveyed 3,400 people currently in a book club to find out how their book groups have been responding and adapting. In order to make this information available to as wide an audience as possible, we have priced this print version at cost; or you can download it for free at bookbrowse.com/wp
In the report you will discover:
"We were both so impressed with the clarity, the thoroughness and clear sighted summations at the end of each section. You have truly knocked it out of the park. We know that countless librarians will be using it as a vital reference, ourselves among them!" - Pat Sheary and Marianne Paterniti, Darien Library, CT
