Book Club Kits
If your book club struggles to find multiple copies for your members to read, book club kits may be the solution.
Each kit includes 10 copies of a book and a facilitator's folder full of discussion questions, themes, author biographies, book reviews and other supportive information to spark interesting conversations. Kits are packed for easy portability in either a FPL box or book bag.
Books club kits are now available for 30 day check out periods and are renewable. Customers may also request an extended check out period if desired. Books in Motion titles can be found in the catalog or by visiting the Reading Room menu on our website.
