Book Group Kits to Go, Annotated List

Book Group Kits to Go are canvas bags containing multiple copies of a book that has previously been used by one of the Library's book discussion groups. Some of the bags also contain resource materials such as discussion questions and author background material. Typically there are 8 to 10 books in a kit.

A representative of your book group may reserve a kit for use on a specific date. The kit will usually check out for an eight week period in order to give your group time to read the book prior to your meeting and also to provide time to gather up the copies for return to the library.

To reserve one or more kits, contact the Reference Desk at Independence Public Library at (248) 625-2212.
