Book Clubs To Go Kits
by muffy
If your book group has trouble getting enough copies for every member to read, the discussion is lackluster from time to time, or you're hard pressed for time reading the book--let alone researching author information and books reviews: The AADL's new service Book Clubs To Go is the answer.
In each of our attractively packaged Book Clubs to Go kits you will find:
* 10 copies of the book (many literary award winners and some in large print format)
* Book reviews and an author biography
* A list of thoughtful discussion questions (Believe me, our staff labored over these so you don't have to!)
* A list of "read alikes"
* and some helpful Book Group Tips to revive, revamp and revitalize any book group.
The kits can be borrowed for 6 weeks and may be picked up at all library locations. Holds should be placed by a representative of the group.
For those books-to-film titles, we have included DVDs to enhance your discussion. Some kits contain two titles to be discussed in tandem. More titles are being added to the collection every week.

No, currently there is no other way to display the titles. We thought our patrons might appreciate knowing which kit is available immeidately and be able to go directly to the titles of choice to place their holds.
