Welcome to RSA Bookgroups
The Resource Sharing Alliance (RSA) is a consortium of libraries in Central Illinois that share a common library automation system. RSA facilitates sharing of materials among its member libraries providing you with access to materials from 176 library branches. RSA's website is https://support.librariesofrsa.org/
Since we share our material, we try to coordinate our book groups through this wiki. Please post your library's schedule when it's available. Thanks!

2026 (Our 23rd year)
Contact Beth Duttlinger lill@lmelibrary.org for more information.
Page Turners
Page Turners is an adult reading/discussion group sponsored by the Friends of the Macomb Public Library. They meet monthly on Wednesdays 4:30-5:30 p.m. in the Macomb Public Library multi-purpose room. Usually the group meets on the 2nd Wednesday of the month.
Shared Community Action Group is organizing a One Book One Community for Macomb, with activities scheduled for February 2023. There is not a single date because the group is currently planning multiple activities for the month. Any books, DVDs, or Blu-rays borrowed to support the book selection Brian's Song by William Blinn will be needed through February 28, 2023.
There are also book clubs affiliated with our local university, so a few patrons sometimes request titles for those as well. Those patrons usually place their requests on RSACat with no library staff assistance, so staff is usually unaware the titles are intended for book club use or how long materials may be in use unless the patron expresses concern about being able to renew a title. These particular patrons are usually very responsible about their usage, though, and the titles are usually not in high demand at the time these patrons place their requests.
When we see there is a situation of a book club title not being easily available, we expand our searches to non-RSA libraries.
Contact Carla Ainslie macomblib.carla@gmail.com or macomb.pld.rsa@gmail.com for more information.
Our Book Group meets the first Thursday of every month at 6:30 PM. New members and visitors are always welcome!
Books & Bites is held at local restaurants on the third Tuesday of the month. Contact Emma Roth Smith at emmas@mortonlibrary.org
