Our Bookstore Offers Many Book Clubs
Book clubs are at the heart of our community at The Lakewood Bookstore, offering a wonderful way for local readers to connect and share their love for stories. We host a variety of book clubs, each catering to different interests and schedules. We have a fiction book club for those who love to get lost in a good story.
Finding a Book Club for You
Evening Book Club
Settle in for thoughtful conversation and good company at our Evening Book Club, where readers gather to dive into stories that linger long after the last page. Each month features a new selection—sometimes contemporary, sometimes classic—but always full of ideas worth sharing. Bring your book, your thoughts, and maybe a friend!
Wandering Book Club
The book club that goes places! Wandering Book Club pairs great reads with local adventures—think dinners, baseball games, cozy cafés, and more. Whether it’s discussing a novel under twinkle lights or chatting between innings, this group proves that books and community are the perfect travel companions.
Stitch Social
Grab your yarn, thread, or current project and join us for Stitch Social, a relaxed meetup for anyone who enjoys making with their hands. Whether you knit, crochet, embroider, or just want to unwind in good company, this is your space to connect, create, and chat among fellow makers. No pressure—just good vibes and good conversation.
Flashlight Book Club
Step into the cozy, nostalgic fun of reading by flashlight! Flashlight Book Club meets after hours for a relaxed, lights-down, story-up kind of evening—perfect for readers who love a little adventure with their page-turning. Bring a flashlight, a blanket, and your curiosity as we share great reads in a truly unique bookstore setting.
Paint Your Hobby Events
Our Paint Your Hobby series celebrates creativity of all kinds! Each event invites you to paint, craft, or customize a project inspired by what you love—from favorite books and fandoms to cozy hobbies and seasonal fun. No experience needed—just bring your imagination (and maybe a friend or two).
Monthly Story Hour
Join us for our Monthly Story Hour, where stories come to life for little listeners and their grown-ups! Each session features a new theme, fun read-alouds, and a welcoming space that fosters curiosity and joy. Perfect for kids who love books and parents who love watching that spark ignite.
Daytime Book Club
Join us for our Daytime Book Club, a welcoming mid-day gathering for readers who enjoy lively discussion and great company over coffee or tea. We explore a mix of thought-provoking fiction and engaging nonfiction, with plenty of time for conversation and connection. It’s the perfect way to add a little literary spark to your afternoon.
Local Author Book Club (Every Other Month)
Celebrate the stories being written right here in our community with the Local Author Book Club. Each meet highlights a book by a Pacific Northwest writer, often with opportunities to meet the author, ask questions, and hear about their creative process. It’s a wonderful way to support local voices, discover new favorites, and connect through the shared love of reading close to home.
Nonfiction Book Club (Every Other Month)
Curious minds, this one’s for you! Our Nonfiction Book Club meets every other month to dive into real stories, big ideas, and fascinating lives—from history and science to memoir and social issues. Each selection sparks thoughtful conversation and discovery, offering a space for readers who love to learn, question, and connect through true stories that stay with you.
