Life's Library Book Club

Welcome to Life’s Library! This page will help you join the Discord server for the book club. To allow for intimate discussion where everyone can participate, members will be split into discussion groups within the server. The shelf images below are how you will select your discussion group for Life’s Library.

The discord is run by our lovely team of managers and moderators – meet them!

There are a bunch of shelves to choose from – check them all out! Choose the shelf that appeals to you most at first glance. If you want to make sure you’re in the same Discord group as your friends, either have them tell you which shelf they chose (if they already joined) or make sure you all choose the same shelf!
