2. In New Westminster, BC, Canada:

While book clubs and reading clubs are familiar offerings at the public library, Irving House is launching a book club that's in keeping with its mandate. Irving House is inviting residents to join its Victorian Book Club, where participants will explore 19th century novels in their original context. Participants will read literary works by the likes of Emily and Charlotte Brontë, Charles Dickens, Robert Louis Stevenson, Oscar Wilde, H.G. Wells, Joseph Conrad, Henry James, Mark Twain and others.
The Victorian Book Club is open to people aged 15 and up. Membership is free but people have to bring their own book.
The group's first meeting is on Saturday, July 16 at 12 p.m. at Irving House, and discussion groups will be held every second week (with the dates yet to be determined). Space is limited; call 604-527-4640 to reserve a spot. (Theresa McManus in The Record)
