Book Club to Go! Kits
Prince William Public Libraries' Book Club to Go! Kits provide everything you need to host your own book club with titles selected by librarians. Kits contain up to 10 copies of the book, including a Large Print edition if one is available, to share with your reading group. Kits can be checked out for six weeks and are renewable. For other ideas, ask the staff at your library for assistance – they can offer suggestions and show you how to use library resources for discussion questions or author biographical information.
