BOOK CLUB TO GO KITS

Have you always wanted to get a book club off the ground, but weren't sure where to start? Do you already belong to a book group, but you need assistance with reserved copies, discussion questions, and author biographical information?

Prince William Public Libraries' BOOK CLUB TO GO! Kits are for you! Bull Run, Central, Chinn Park, Haymarket Gainesville, Manassas City, Montclair, and Potomac all carry Books Club to Go Kits.

Kits include 10 copies of a title, including a Large Print edition if one is available, a notebook with supplemental discussion materials, and contact information for further assistance. The kits circulate for a six-week period and are renewable. Some titles are also available in e-book and audio format.
