THE BIBLIOPHILES BOOK CLUB
July 17, 2026 12:00 am
A quiet book night on Park Street
If your idea of a good evening involves a paperback, a few thoughtful neighbors, and a real conversation, Books Inc. in Alameda has a solid one on the calendar.
This month, the group is reading The River is Waiting by Wally Lamb. The page is the performer here, with Lamb’s story giving everyone plenty to talk about. Expect a relaxed room, a mix of regulars and new faces, and the kind of chat that can wander from plot points to family, memory, and whatever else the book brings up.
Books Inc. on Park Street has that easy neighborhood feel. You can browse before the meeting, pick up something for later, or just settle into the bookish hum of the place. It is a good fit for readers who like structure, but do not want a stiff literary event.
The club is listed as meeting monthly at 6:45 pm. Since this listing has a date note worth double checking, take a quick look at the event page before heading over.
Where: Books Inc., 1344 Park St, Alameda
