All of our book clubs meet monthly, September to June. New members are welcome!
NPL’s Cookbook Club New!
Introducing NPL’s Cookbook Club! Up to 15 participants are invited to select a recipe from the cookbook of the month and prepare a dish to share with other members.

ARC Book Club for Teens
Read books before they are published! You get the jump on all your friends by reading it first – publishers get feedback from you. This club will meet every 4-6 weeks with a variety of ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) books to choose from. Ms. Becky created a simple review form sample for you to use. You review the books for club members and then hear about their books. Then everyone selects a new, advanced reader copy. Books are yours to keep or you can donate them back to the club. Ms. Becky actually has a number of ARCs signed by the authors! Upcoming dates can be found here.
For more information, contact Becky Farwick at (401) 847-8720 x206 or bfarwick@newportlibraryri.org.
