Book Club in a Bag

Book Club in a Bag is a convenient kit that includes everything needed for a stimulating book discussion. Each handy tote contains 12 copies of a popular book and a list of discussion questions. 

How it Works:
The designated book club leader may check out the entire kit for eight (8) weeks. The club leader distributes books to the members, and collects them after the discussion. The entire kit is then returned to the library.  (Overdue fines apply.)
