At the library: Starting a book club is easy or join ours

Vickie Hardin

Joining a book club is a wonderful way to share a love for reading. BPL has a collection of 50-plus book kits to help our patrons find the right book for their group. For the complete list, just go to the library website at www.bossierlibrary.org and search “book club kit” in the Catalog.

Patrons can check out up to two kits at a time. There are 12 books in each one with support materials. Each kit contains a checklist to help group leaders keep track of all items. The fee for late returns is $10 for each day it is late. The person who checks out the kit is responsible for any late fees or costs for lost or damaged items.

We invite you to join one of the many book clubs at our branches. If you prefer to start your own club, or need fresh ideas for an established group, come to the library to find suggestions and learn how to make your club interesting and fun.
