Public library reading forum

This is sort of not related to bookmobile but still library relevant. (Although bookmobile patrons would be interested too.) I have people ask me a lot if I know of a book club in their area. And I work on staff picks for my library's website. And I was thinking what if you could combine, book clubs, staff picks and patrons into a public library reading forum. Everyone could sign up (international too), everyone could participate. You could even get authors to do something, start a forum about their upcoming novel.

This is what I found while searching the internet:
http://forum.bentonharborlibrary.com/index.php?sid=a4c8ee3a851b84145a9035eeb7cf4e05
http://www.wals.lib.wi.us/forum/viewforum.php?f=2
http://glen-ellyn.com/eve/forums/a/frm/f/7696055172
http://www.tppl.org/Forums/library/
http://www.wals.lib.wi.us/forum/

The first one is used for reading and that looks promising although it doesn't have many posts. Some of the others are used more for library events/news.

Has anyone else come across anything like this?
