Do you live or work in the East Village, New York City? Do you love to read? Then, come and join our book club!

The East Village NYC Book Club meets every first Monday of the month, 7:30pm at Hekate Café & Elixir Lounge on 167 Avenue B, New York, NY. Changes in meeting schedules and venues will be posted on our Bookclub Meetings page.

Books to read are recommended by our members. All books for reading can be borrowed from the New York Public Library or downloaded from the NYPL website.

So you have not read the book yet? Book not interesting enough for you? Come and join us still! Maybe by listening and participating in the discussion, it might get you curious enough to read the book. Anything that encourages reading is always a good thing.

Some rules to follow, though.

1) If you're looking to network so you can sell products or services to members, don't do that. If you're looking for a date, you're in the wrong place. Do any of that and you will be removed from the club.

2) We expect you to be polite and respectful of views that may be contrary to yours. We look forward to animated, passionate discussions but there is no place for hate, discrimination or harsh judgment in our club.

This is a safe haven and sanctuary for book lovers who live and work within the East Village neighborhood. Whether it's about a book, membership to the club or an opinion - we are inclusive and diverse.

3) Do not spam our message boards. Do not spam our members' emails. Do not harass members. Any complaints about this from members will lead to your removal from the club.

Come and meet your neighbors! Join the East Village NYC Book Club!
