Great tips...
I'm reading through "Compelling Conversations: Questions and Quotations on Timeless Topics" by Eric H. Roth and Toni W. Aberson (ISBN 414965828X). It includes excellent conversation starters on a variety of topics, and general tips to keep conversations flowing; a recommended resource for any Conversation Club facilitator.

Thank you for sharing those ideas, and mentioning Compelling Conversations as a practical resource for library conversation clubs!
Your generous words brought a smile to my face after a chilly, long day. Few activities are more satisfying than adults sitting together, reflecting on their lives, and creating memorable conversations. Sometimes simple questions can lead to wonderful stories.
Thank you, again, for mentioning my niche book on your blog.
Thank you for your comment. Conversation Clubs are such a key way to build communities in our libraries; thank you for a wonderful resource in starting inspiring conversations!
