I live in Washington, DC, a few miles from Politics and Prose. They discount book club orders, and so there is a shelf, maybe six feet long by four feet high with books set out for clubs planning to discuss them. If I were looking seriously for a book club, I might drop in over the course of a few months to see what clubs have interests aligned with mine. How would I follow up? That part I don't know--slip a note into one of the books, perhaps. (I also don't know how the pandemic affected all this--I've hardly been into P&P in more than a year.)

But I'd suggest starting at bookstores.
