The idea is simple. We provide up to 10 copies of a title. You provide the book club to read and discuss the title. You can meet here, or anywhere you wish. You'll borrow the bag, tell us when your discussion is, and return the bag a few days after your discussion. You pick the dates. You decide the loan period. No overdue fines. No hassles.
We'd also love to make up additional bags with donated titles your book club has already read and no longer needs. If we get close to ten copies of a title, we can start another bag. Collect your titles and donate them to us as a group so we can save them for the next book club bag.
We need book clubs to give us information on what books they have read, what books they would like to read, and suggestions for improving this program.
Individual memberships begin at $10.00
