How to organize a book club?

Hey all, I've just been reading Lenin's "What is to be Done" and I for some reason I really feel motivated to start a book club now, especially knowing that was (a part of) how he got his start in organizing around 1894. Especially by the part where, I am paraphrasing, he says that you become a 'professional' rev. only through years of practice (or use Praxis here). I am not planning on running a secret 'conspiratioral' tight-knit circle of revolutionaries, I don't think my capabilities are fit for anything like that, but running a book club would be a step in that direction. Maybe someone will emerge from it who will?

Anyways, it's s first step, not that we should hope for us to become a vanguard out of a library, just that in terms of organizing, this type of amateurish learning circle is usually helpful in the beginning. As the group grows you can expand to informal propagandizing and agitational work, as the book clubs of the 1890s in Russia did. It would probably just be in the form posts online, but that is our analogue to the printing press.

But I am saying this without any experience and only having read about it, not done it. If any of you have any experience or anything like that, it would be helpful to know. I am thinking of contacting a local left-wing party (not communist, dem-soc) or their youth wing on help with this, but it is entirely achievable and desirable to do it on my own, just that it would be easier with help. I am not familiar with the organisation and don't have any contacts besides the ones or their websites, but I don't see a problem with mooching off of them.

This can also be done online, but frankly, that is not what I am looking for. I know a few places that could plausibly be used for it, free of charge.

OPSEC is important, I know the secret services of neighbouring countries actively have spied on anarchist book clubs and even Fridays for Future, deporting someone for giving a presentation on Marxism (Russian citizen). The rules aren't so draconian here, but OPSEC is still necessary.
