Book Group Collection
Group Discussion Kits
Pierce County Library System offers special Book Group Discussion Kits for book discussion groups.
We have assembled multiple (15) copies of selected books that might be interesting to your local book discussion group. We have also gathered background information such as author biographies, book reviews and discussion questions.
About the Kits
Each kit can be reserved by a PCLS card-holding member of your book discussion group for a special 8 week period, from close to the 1st of one month as feasible to the 25th of the following month. Reservations can be made up to 10 months in advance.
We currently have kits for 50 titles for general adult groups and 34 kids/teens titles.
Book group discussion kits include:
Multiple (15) paperback copies of the same title
Author biographical information
Reviews
Discussion questions
Helpful hints on facilitating a group discussion
Large storage container
Kits weigh approximately 15 lbs.
Please contact your local branch library staff to learn more about this service and to check title availability and signup for specific title kits.
This special service is sponsored by the Pierce County Library Foundation.
