Food, too
By Franz

I think that you have a great idea. I, too, work in a low SES school. We get very low turn outs for parents unless one of two things happen-FOOD or KID PERFORMANCE. Since you are thinking of morning time for your open reading class, I would advertise coffee and donuts for the parents. Local Bagel shops and donut shops give us free food all the time since they cannot sell day-old products-but they taste just fine.
I would start out with kid books, and see if their is an interest for adult books. The adults may be intimidated if they have never been part of a book club before. Good luck!
