From Wednesday, February 10 the library will be hosting lunchtime and evening book club discussions.
Pageturners Book Discussion Group meet every second Wednesday of the month at both 12.30pm and 5.30pm.
The chosen book for February's lunchtime discussion is Richard Flanagan's The Living Sea of Waking Dreams. The latest work by Booker Prize-winning novelist is described at showcasing the Australian writer at his "most moving-and astonishing-best".
According to its synopsis, the novel tells the story of Anna and her dying mother "in a world of perennial fire and growing extinctions".
Pageturner's evening discussion from 5.30 to 7pm on Wednesday, February 10, will focus on another Australian novelist, Kate Grenville.
Her latest novel A Room Made of Leaves is part-historical-fiction, part-'what-if'.
"What if Elizabeth Macarthur - the wife of the notorious John Macarthur, wool baron in the earliest days of Sydney - had written a shockingly frank secret memoir?" reads the novel's synopsis.
"And what if novelist Kate Grenville had miraculously found and published it?
"That's the starting point for A Room Made of Leaves, a playful dance of possibilities between the real and the invented."
Both book club sessions require attendees to reserve their place, either online through Eventbrite or by calling 6393 8125.
Orange City Library is located at 147 Byng Street.
