Book Clubs

External Book Clubs

We offer 10% off all titles purchased for external book clubs. 

We also encourage our customers to bring in their book club reading lists.  This allows us to make sure that your books are here well in advance of the month for which you need the book. 

Please email Judith your book club lists at owlsnestbooks@shaw.ca
 

Internal Book Clubs

The Owl's Nest proudly hosts four in-house book clubs, three for younger readers and teens, as well as a mystery book club for adults.  Members receive 15% off the titles for these clubs. 

All our clubs meet once a month and are free of charge.  Pre-registration is not necessary, but registered members will receive an email reminder in the week before their meeting. 

For further information about our kids' and teens' book clubs, please visit our owlets page.
