Free tools, comparisons and working documents
- How BookClubRoster compares to the other ways a group gets runThree fair comparisons for the host who is deciding where the next title, the headcount and the discussion questions are going to live.
- BookClubRoster vs BookclubzBookclubz is built to give a social reading group a shared home online, while BookClubRoster is built for the person doing the administration every month.
- BookClubRoster vs MeetupMeetup is built so strangers can find an open group, and BookClubRoster is built for the roster you already have and the title you are discussing next.
- BookClubRoster vs BeanstackBeanstack is reading program software adopted at the system level, while BookClubRoster runs the individual discussion groups that meet in your branch rooms each month.
- Calculators for hosts who have to make the numbers workTwo small tools for the two questions that decide whether a reading group survives its second year: what it costs and whether everyone can get the book.
- Cost Per Member CalculatorEnter your roster size, your meeting count and what you spend on copies, food and the room, and see the real annual cost and the dues that would cover it.
- Copy Coverage PlannerEnter your roster, your kit copies and your typical hold wait, and see how many readers are short and how early the title has to be locked.
- Resources for people who run reading groupsFree tools and guides for the practical side of a book club: copies, costs, calendars, rooms and the discussion itself.
- The Monthly Book Club Run SheetEverything a host actually has to do between one meeting and the next, in the order it has to happen, with the deadlines that make copies arrive on time.
