Book Clubs
Image of Janke Book Store Book Club rack Wausau is home to many book clubs, however, several of them are comprised of private groups of people. Some though are open to new members. We encourage you to contact these groups to see if they have openings.


Janke Book Store provides a section in its store where all book clubs display books. You can see who's reading what! We invite you to make sure that your book club selection is posted by giving Jane a call at 715-845-9648.
