Conference room reminds me of work meetings, not the feel I would want for a relaxed reading “hangout”

Yes, Lounge certainly gives a feeling of relaxing, but then it is used elsewhere on MobileRead, so probably shouldn't be used in this case. And I suspect a lot of people would need to go away and look up what the heck a proem was, which mightn't feel very welcoming.
I'm with June: Conference Room sounds like work, not like a chat room in a library. Another thought: New Leaf Book Club * Let's Talk! |

"Proem" is entirely optional. I was just be a smart a... person.
I did wonder about the existing lounge sub-forum being a problem. New Leaf Book Club: Coffee Room Of course that might not be much good for those that don't like coffee, or those that are trying to give it up and don't want to be reminded, or those that are allergic to it. New Leaf Book Club: Members' Bar No good for the non-drinkers, maybe. New Leaf Book Club: Reception and Waiting Room Sounds a bit too much like a dentist. New Leaf Book Club: Gossip Column That might work, although some people don't like to be thought of as gossips. Okay, I'll go away now. |

I like Members’ Lounge, except that it sounds as if new people can’t pop in there, and we want them to feel they can.
New Leaf Book Club * On the Verandah Though that might be a bit chilly at this time of year for those in the north! |

Verandah is probably too Southern Hemisphere for this club.
How about New Leaf Book Club * Come on in! |
