Book Club in a Bag
The Weaver Library is offering an exciting new service to support community-based book clubs called “Book Club in a Bag.” The library will provide ten copies of a single title, information about the author, book reviews, and possible discussion questions selected by a librarian to enhance your book group’s discussion.
All the contents are secured in a sturdy canvas bag for your “totable” convenience. “Book Club in a Bag” eliminates the expense of buying books for your book discussion group or borrowing individual copies from the library. The bag must be reserved in advance and may be checked out for six weeks to a single book group member.
