Book groups are a great way to stay in regular contact with friends. If you've already got a group together, head to
step two.
View the nationwide map of BDS book groups looking for members. You can message a group convenor directly to arrange a meeting to see if the group is a good fit for you.
Leave your own message on the map so other readers searching for a group can contact you. Placing notices in your local newspaper or neighbourhood Facebook groups are also great ways to find more members.
We've created two book group posters you can download for free to help you find more members. Add your own information to the customisable fields then print for use on noticeboards in your community, library or workplace.

Now that you have your group members, download and complete a new group registration form.
Once registered, you'll be emailed a login so you can view, update and manage all your group's details online.
Once you're registered and your membership fees have been paid, the book parcels start arriving and the discussion begins!
Here's how your first year with BDS will go:
