Book Club in a Bag

An All-in-One Book Discussion Kit



The library now offers a quick and easy way to hold a book discussion group: Book Club in a Bag. Each kit contains ten copies of a popular book and information about the author and book, including some discussion questions, all packaged into a sturdy zipper bag for you to carry.

Each kit may be checked out for 12 weeks (84 days). You should then have time to distribute, read and hold your discussion. The books should then be collected and returned together in the bag.

Please request the Book Club in a Bag kits from the reference desk. You may either call ahead, email, or stop by the reference desk when you come to the library.

Contact the reference desk by phone, 837-3442, or email, askthelibrarian@midland-mi.org for more information or to request a Book Club in a Bag kit.
