The Good Reader - BookClubbers Club
St. Michael's House are asking you to book some time in with your pals near and far to catch-up and enjoy some good reading in support of our services.
- Starting this summer - form a club with your friends and meet online monthly to discuss your "book of the month"
- On each meeting, each reader texts to donate €4 to our service
- Your BookClub name will be added to our Book Board and your monthly read and funds donated will be added to the chart.
- Each month your books and bucks will all add up to make a difference!
Your Reader BookClub Donations
Monies raised from The Good Reader - Bookclubbers Club will directly support our Assistive Technology Project. This project aims to assist and support the use of technology for our service users and their families at home with St. Michael's House virtual supports due to COVID-19.

Tips for Successful Book Club
1. Choose a demographic! If you are planning to read only "chicklit" don't try to make it a couples book club.
2. Try to pick books that are under 400 pages.
3. Be realistic with your schedule.
4. Incorporate food (and drinks!!!)
5. Allow for some hang-out time.
