Meetup and Libraries

Anyone else out there using Meetup in Libraries or for Reading Groups?
Here’s more about it from the site:
“About Meetup
Meetup.com helps people find others who share their interest or cause, and form lasting, influential, local community groups that regularly meet face-to-face. We believe that the world will be a better place when everyone has access to a people-powered local Meetup Group. That’s our goal.
Meetup Groups help people:
Find others who share their interests
Get involved locally
Learn, teach, and share things
Make friends and have fun
Rise up, stand up, unite, and make a difference
Be a part of something bigger — both locally and globally
We’re proud to give more power to the people and we believe it’s possible to make a profit and make a difference.”

Star Trek Event at Miami Lake Public Library
This is the first Star Trek event that will be held at this library branch. I am looking to extend this event with to have other scifi offerings including book, tv and movie discussions, games, and possibly podcasting.
I searched librarian, library, book club, reading club and reading as well so there are loads of other related groups. I saw this on The M Word and thought it looked useful as a model for library tactics.
Just curious.
