Book Culture Club (好書會) is a group formed by Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU)’s book authors and the HKBU Library to promote a book culture in the university, to encourage book reading and to act as a platform for writers, potential authors, publishers and readers to exchange ideas and share experiences. With a goal is to raise a public recognition for the HKBU authors, the Book Culture Club regularly organizes book talks, writing workshops, exhibitions and other cultural events.

History
Founded in February 2009 by three faculty members and the HKBU Library, the Book Culture Club aims to nurture a book culture in the university campus. In November 2009, the Club’s official website was launched, with sections featuring “BU Authors” and “BU Creative Writers” which serve as an alternative channel to showcase the scholarly and creative works of the university members in the virtual world. The Book Culture Club events, while initially targeted to HKBU students, staff and faculty, now attracts growing interests from the larger community, with attendees ranging from alumni to secondary school teachers and students.
