The South Pasadena Public Library has announced the launch of the biweekly “Walking Book Club,” which will begin meeting Feb. 14 at 9 a.m. in front of the library entrance.
The monthly event aims to combine the joy of reading with the benefits of outdoor activity, fostering a healthy and social approach to literature. This project is supported in whole or in part by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act, administered in California by the State Librarian.
On the second Wednesday of every month, adults are invited to gather at the library at 9 a.m. for a stroll through the community. The club will provide an opportunity for participants to discuss the selected book, share insights and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow readers in a relaxed, outdoor setting.
Each month, a book will be selected as the focal point for discussion during the walk. Participants are encouraged to come prepared with their thoughts, questions and reflections on the book. The library staff will facilitate the discussion, ensuring a lively exchange of ideas and opinions.
For the first meeting, discussion will focus on what participants are currently reading. To ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience, interested participants are required to register in advance and sign a waiver.
Registration can be completed at southpasadenaca.gov/register. The South Pasadena Public Library is located at 1100 Oxley St. Visit the library website at southpasadenaca.gov/library for information about services and programs.
The Library is open Monday, Friday, Saturday 10 a.m.– 6 p.m., Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday 10 a.m.-8 p.m. and Sunday 1 p.m.-5p.m.
First published in the January 26 print issue of the South Pasadena Review.
