| GenerousBooks was founded by readers for readers. Our goal is to help you keep your book club together by doing the mundane chores for you. No longer do you need to maintain a mailing list or a calling tree. We will keep everyone in the loop for you. |
| With GenerousBooks you can relax. No more forgotten messages on what to read next - nor the need to panic when someone gets sick and a location has to change. With a click of a mouse our simple and free service will take care of the details for everyone! And we do it in an advertising and cookie-free environment. |

Personal Home Page |
| Your home page gives you access to all of the particulars for your club(s). This includes membership lists, upcoming meetings and bulletin board postings. It also allows you to easily keep in touch with other club members. You can even see who is on-line at the same time as you are. In addition, you can view and modify your personal information or delete your account if you wish to do so. The club administrator will have addition tools available to them to schedule meetings and invite new members. |
 |
Meeting Schedules |
| Your book club administrator can set-up your club's meetings one at a time or in advance, through a one year period. You will receive an email that a meeting has been scheduled. In addition, you can go to your home page for the details of any scheduled meeting. |
 |
E-mail Reminders For Meetings |
| Depending on the date and location of your next meeting, you will receive up to 4 email reminders including directions to the next meeting and review material for the book you will be discussing. |
|
 |
Directions To Meetings Detailed driving directions from your home to the meeting place will be sent in a email reminder for your meeting. These directions can also be found on your home page. |
|
 |
Review Materials Book reviews, synopses and author bios for the book to be discussed are included in email reminders. |
 |
Bulletin Board |
| Your bulletin board can become a permanent record of your discussions. You can use it to continue your discussion long after your actual club meeting or use it as an on-line meeting forum. You are limited only by your imagination in how you choose to use the bulletin board. |
 |
Reading Recommendations [Arriving 1st Quarter 2003!] |
| In the near future we will be offering free access to an extensive selection of book reviews and recommendations which you can use for researching your next book or getting ready for your next discussion. This will include toolbox sets and study guides prepared by public libraries to help you organize and conduct your discussions.

You'll be able to schedule your purchases around your meetings and be assured that everyone has their book in plenty of time for your next discussion. The club administrator will be able to order all member's books with one simple transaction and they will be delivered to each member's home.
