If you are a member of a book club, you’ll be happy to know that Book Club Kits are available for you to check out! Each tote has multiple copies of the same book, enough for each person in your club to read.
In addition to the books, totes may also have large print copies and books-on-CD. The tote gets checked out to one person, who is responsible for seeing that all materials are returned when your club is finished. The kits have a longer circulation period (five weeks) so you usually won’t have to worry about fines before your club meets again.
To see which titles are currently available as Book Club Kits, search our Catalog for "book club kit" or ask a staff member.
