Do you {want to|wish to} {join|sign up with} a 'book of the month' club {but|however} can't {find|discover} one that's near you? {Maybe|Perhaps|Possibly} it's time you {started|began} one! That's right - {organizing|arranging} a 'book of the month' club is not {hard|difficult|tough} if you {know|understand} where to {start|begin} and how.

{STEP|ACTION} 1: Be heard. Your {first|very first} {concern|issue} {should|ought to|must|needs to} be {telling|informing} {everyone|everybody} about your club. Ask if you can {put up|set up|install} posters around your {neighborhood|community|area}. Some {good|great|excellent} {locations|places|areas} are {bookstores|book shops}, the {town hall|city center}, church, {frequently|often|regularly} {visited|went to|checked out} {shops|stores} and even schools. You can {also|likewise} {call for|require} {membership|subscription} {during|throughout} public engagements, such as town {meetings|conferences} or after church services. If you have more time, why not go door-to-door? You'll get to {meet|satisfy|fulfill} {a lot of|a great deal of} {people|individuals} in your {vicinity|area}, and {recruit|hire} {new|brand-new} members, too.

{Remember|Keep in mind}: Unless you are {organizing|arranging} a 'book of the month' club that {caters to|accommodates|deals with} {a very|an extremely|a really} {specific|particular} {age group|age} or background, your {goal|objective} {should|ought to|must|needs to} be to reach and {attract|draw in|bring in} {a diverse|a varied} group of {people|individuals} - the more {dissimilar|different} the {attitudes|mindsets} and {viewpoints|perspectives} of your members, the more {stimulating|revitalizing} your book {discussions|conversations} will be. In your posters and other {advertising|marketing} {materials|products}, make it clear that the club is open to {anyone|anybody} who {loves|likes|enjoys} books (and {anyone|anybody} who {is willing|wants} to {try|attempt}).

{STEP|ACTION} 2: {Lay down|Put down|Set} the {ground rules|guideline}. {Once|When|As soon as} you {already|currently} have {a good|a great|an excellent} {membership|subscription} base, hold {a general|a basic} assembly to {discuss|talk about|go over} the {rules|guidelines} and {standards|requirements} of your 'book of the month' club. {Some of|A few of} the {important|essential|crucial} things you {should|ought to|must|need to} {discuss|talk about|go over} {include|consist of} book reading schedules, {cost|expense} {limits|limitations} to book {choices|options}, and the {regularity|consistency} of {meetings|conferences} and {procedures|treatments} for moving them to other dates.

It {might|may} be {a good|a great|an excellent} {idea|concept} to {elect|choose} officers for the club, or {at least|a minimum of} delegate {specific|particular} {tasks|jobs} to {specific|particular} members (such as food and {beverage|drink} {arrangements|plans}, {venue|location|place}, etc).

{STEP|ACTION} 3: Listen to your members. Conduct {an informal|a casual} {survey|study} about the book {preferences|choices} of your members. {Everyone|Everybody} {should|ought to|must|needs to} get {a chance|a possibility|an opportunity} to {say|state} what their expectations of the club are, what {kinds of|type of|sort of} books they {have|have actually} {already|currently} {read|checked out}, and what they {look forward to|anticipate|eagerly anticipate} reading, {among other|to name a few} things. This is {especially|particularly|specifically} {important|essential|crucial} if your 'book of the month' club has {a very|an extremely|a really} {diverse|varied} {membership|subscription}.
