Where can I find local people interested in literature?

I'm in a town that doesn't have a great deal of people that are interested in literature, or they are just hiding. I'm just trying to find places to go to find people who may be interested in it, but I'm not entirely sure where to start. Any suggestions?|||Ask around at libraries and bookstores; some of them have readings, poetry nights, book clubs, etc. whether literary-minded people congregate.
