Reading can spark imagination, open up perception and stimulate conversation especially within book clubs.
Books clubs help build a sense of community while expanding a participant’s worldview. Since the pandemic, book clubs have been meeting on Zoom, allowing second-home owners and other friends and family who don’t live in Eagle County year-round to join from out of state. For example, Vail Public Library’s Books ‘n’ Bites club has about 23 members about 10 regulars from as far as Kentucky, California and North Dakota.
“It gives people a sense of community,” said Lori Barnes of the Vail Public Library.
