Book Clubs to Go
Interested in running your own book club? Our Book Club to Go sets contain multiple copies of popular adult fiction and non-fiction titles, and can be checked out for up to 8 weeks. Over 70 sets are available at our Central branch. You’ll find a link to a discussion guide in the catalogue record for each book that can help your group have meaningful conversations during your book club meeting.
Book Club to Go sets are first come, first served. You’re able to place a hold on one copy from the book set on your own through our catalogue. If you would like to place holds on multiple copies or an entire set, contact the Library via phone or email to reserve the set.
