Book Club Sets

Want to start your own book club? We have Book Club Sets for your reading group!

You can now borrow individual copies of our book club books! Just grab a copy from our Book Club Set shelf and check it out for 3 weeks just like any other library book. If you’d rather take multiple copies for your book group, you can still do that too!

Each set contains multiple copies.
