BYOBook Club

Find information and book recommendations for our "Bring Your Own Book" Club!

Welcome to BYOBook Club!

BYOBook Club is a "bring your own" style book club to bring together readers across MU. The club is open to everyone, so bring a friend or come make new ones!

Pick any book you want for the month's prompt (or just any book from your TBR list) and come tell us about it! This is your chance to discover new books or authors, commiserate with readers about that wild cliff-hanger, or vent about a book that broke your heart. 


Can't make our club meetings, or looking to meet more readers? The Wellness Resource Center also hosts a monthly "bring your own book" club for students! Find their "Shelf Care" events on MU Engage. 

Code of Conduct

BYOBook Club encourages respectful and active participation. We are committed to providing a friendly and safe environment that is open to all. As such, we expect participants to both speak and behave with mutual respect and in accordance with MU's Code of Conduct.

If you notice anything of concern, please speak to a book club leader or email us.

Thank you for helping us make BYOBook Club a welcome environment for all!
