Are Kelowna book clubs free to join?
Costs and joining rules vary. Check each group's own page for fees, registration and membership requirements before you go.
Which parts of Kelowna do these book clubs meet in?
The listings on this page name Downtown, Mission and Rutland. The rest rotate venues or do not publish a fixed location, so check the group's own page before you go.
Do I need the Culdesac app to join Kelowna book clubs?
No. This page is free to browse and every group links out to wherever it already organises. The app matters once a group runs its own chat and calendar on Culdesac.
