Book Club in a Bag

Run your own book club with our Book Club in a Bag kits. These kits contain everything your book group needs to enjoy reading and discussing your next book club title. 

Browse Book Club Kits

Kits can be found and requested in the Library catalog, and Library staff members are happy to help you place holds in person, over the phone, or via chat. 

Kits are checked out to one person, who is responsible for returning the bag and all of its contents to the Library. Need help keeping track of who has which book? You can print a blank list to keep track of each copy.

Book Club Checkout Lists

  • Kits can be checked out for 6 weeks and cannot be renewed. 
  • Unless otherwise noted, each adult kit contains 10 copies of a title.
