Book Groups

If you love good books, good coffee and good conversation, then the Mary Ryan's Bookgroups are for you. Each month, the groups gather to enjoy a stimulating and in-depth discussion of the chosen title in the relaxed ambience that has become synonymous with the Mary's name.

Our bookgroups are facilitated by the store manager or bookgroup co-ordinator, and each month's title is chosen by group consensus. During the discussion, our members enjoy coffee, tea and delicious cake from our cafes. It's the perfect antidote to today's busy world.

Membership is FREE

Springfield Lakes
With two book clubs under way and a third about to commence, book clubs are not only a great way to meet new friends but most importantly, push the boundaries of what you would normally read and experience a novel to its limits . The Springfield Lakes groups range in age from 18 to 65 so we get an intelligent discussion from a variety of perspectives.

Our monthly evening group meets on the first Thursday of every month at 6.00 pm and for our die hard readers, our "fast track" group meets fortnightly (yes, that is one book every two weeks). About to commence is our monthly day group who will be meeting on the first Wednesday of each month at 10.00 am. So if books are your passion, give us a call on 3470 0988 and we will fit you into the most suitable group.

Benifits of joining a Hervey Bay group include:
- Interesting and in-depth discussion of the book.
- Up-to-date information on new releases.
