Your own reading platform
Create your own online reading platform and customize the look & feel. Put your logo and change the header, so your users can feel like being in your library.

Simple is better
ReadGroups has been designed to be simple, easy to use and modern at the same time, for both the librarians and the end users. Setting up your platform and your reading groups will take only a few minutes!

Biblioteca Pública de Lleida

The Public Library of Lleida started its first online reading group in March 2013. It took place between March and June, before the summer holidays. Unlike the other groups of the library, this one was developed entirely through the Internet.
The group was focused in science fiction literature and attracted different kind of people: from regular science fiction readers, to people that had never read any novel of the genre. Some of the participants explained that they couldn't come to the library and participate in the normal reading groups and that this group brought them the opportunity to share their thoughts with other readers.
According to the library itself, the group has been a total success. It has received over 250 comments, distributed among the four books that has been read and commented: The road, by Cormac McCarthy, Cold Skin, by Albert Sánchez Piñol, Mecanoscrit del segon origen, by Manuel de Pedrolo (one of the most known science fiction novels written in catalan), and Solaris, by Stanislaw Lem.
The library will start a second edition of the reading group and they expect it to be as successfull as the first one.
