Book Clubs
If your book club is looking to obtain multiple copies of a title, we can help you. Just come into the library and fill out a book club request form, or e-mail us with the title and author of the book, the number of copies you will need, and the date that your club will be discussing the book. We can check for availability and order enough copies for all your members.
We can also order a Book Club Kit for your group. Book Club Kits are large canvas bags that contain 15 paperback copies of a title, as well as discussion guides, author information, and background information about the book. When available, a large-print copy and a DVD related to the book will be included. Read more about Book Club Kits here.
