Book clubs are a staple at libraries and Lane Memorial Library is no different. Below is a list of the current book clubs held at the library and facilitated by our librarians. If you would like to start a book club or request the library host one, please let us know! Copies of book club titles are supplied through interlibrary loan and therefore available copies are dependent on what can be loaned to our library. If you have any questions about our current book clubs or would like to start one at the library, please contact us at ref@hampton.lib.nh.us or 603-926-3368.
