McNally Jackson Book Clubs offers monthly reading discussions at various NYC locations for $5.

McNally Jackson Book Clubs is a collection of monthly reading groups hosted primarily at the Downtown Brooklyn location, though some meetings also take place at other McNally Jackson branches. These gatherings feature a diverse array of selections, including the McNally Editions Book Club focusing on reissued classics, the Crime Wave Book Club, and the Minor Works Book Club with Mandylion Press which delves deeper into nineteenth-century novels. Other offerings include the Misfit Mayhem Book Club exploring books from misfits who shaped music, film, and pop culture, the Italy-in-Translation Book Club, the International Literature Book Club, and a Short(er) Slavic Novels Book Club. Participants can also join the ND Book Club to discuss staff favorites and New Directions staples, the Dream Couple Romance Book Club with 831 Stories, the New Book Book Club, and the Private Writings, Public Readings Book Club. Each meeting costs $5, which is redeemable in-store, and RSVP is required. Meetings typically occur at 7pm. The groups are designed to foster community through shared literary experiences, ranging from classic literature to contemporary fiction and international works, providing a welcoming space for readers of all backgrounds to engage with new ideas and authors.
