Fortunately, nowadays there are alot and very varied reading clubs, both in subjects and in the profile of their participants. Guadalajara public library, in Castilla la Mancha, has been pioneering in reading clubs, and the one in the regional service of lending to reading clubs, wich lends lots of books, not only for libraries in the region, but for the exchange of experiences, support and advice between libraries and reading clubs. The thriller reading Club, in the library the Bóbila, in Hospitalet, that has been working since January 2000; The Network of Barcelona Public Libraries, wich has just started eight new reading clubs, beeing 50 in 28 libraries; the Network of Navarra Public Libraries, with 15 libraries with reading clubs, wich has a catalog of bibliographical lots for the lending and exchange among the libraries in the network; the Municipal Library in Peñaranda de Bracamonte, with reading clubs that are for children youth, and adult and wich has a platform for the exchange of views. That initiative is opening up new horizons, and proposals are coming, as the Quijote reading Club through the Internet, a Pep Bruno experience in which members of four reading clubs took part between 2004 and 2005. It gathers the materials used in debates and arguments; or Libroadictos (book-adicts), website aimed to debate about the reading of several books, that changes with the time.
