🍷💬 Book Club Hosting Made Easy

Running a book club? Let SignUp take care of the logistics so you can focus on the snacks and spirited discussions.

Use SignUp to:

  • Set a recurring schedule for meetings.
  • Let members sign up to host or bring goodies.
  • Rotate discussion leaders or monthly book pickers.

✨ Bonus idea: Create a SignUp for the group vote on next month’s read – just add book titles as SignUp spots and ask participants to "sign up" for the book they are voting for.


🎪🙋🏻‍♀️ Organize a Book Fair (Without the Chaos)

Whether it's for your school, library, or community center, book fairs are a lot of fun – and a lot of work. SignUp keeps everything smooth and stress-free.

Use SignUp to:

  • Schedule volunteer shifts for setup, sales, and cleanup.
  • Coordinate donation drop-offs and table assignments.
  • Share info with parents, teachers, and vendors in one place.

✨ Pro tip: Add a QR code to flyers so families can sign up on the spot!


📖 🔄 Plan a Book Swap 

Clear your shelves and find new favorites – all while building community. A book swap is a low-cost, high-fun event that’s perfect for bookworms of all ages.

Use SignUp to:

  • Track what kinds of books people are bringing.
  • Recruit volunteers for setup and teardown.
  • Organize genre-based tables for easier browsing.

✨ Fun idea: Add a cozy lounge area with snacks and cocoa!

💸📕 Coordinate a Book Sale Fundraiser

Raising money through a book sale? It’s a great way to support schools, libraries, and literacy programs.

Use SignUp to:

  • Fill volunteer shifts for sorting, cashiering, and cleanup.
  • Accept baked good donations for an extra fundraising boost.
  • Organize packing and delivery of unsold books.

✨ Smart move: Add a slot for someone to post on social media and spread the word!


🕵️‍♀️⏰ Schedule Mystery Readers for Kids

Looking to spark excitement and a love of reading in little ones? Mystery Readers is a heartwarming hit!

Use SignUp to:

  • Invite parents or community members to sign up secretly.
  • Keep reader names hidden from kids for a fun surprise!
  • Share time slots, reading guidelines, and book suggestions easily.

✨ Extra magic: Let kids guess who the reader might be – they’ll love the surprise!
