GLENDALE PUBLIC LIBRARY
BOOK GROUP TO GO
The Glendale Public Library thanks Altrusa International, Inc., the Glendale Club, for the donation of books and bags.
Special thanks, also, to the California Center for the Book for donating some sets of books.
BOOK GROUP KITS: HOW TO USE AND ENJOY
What is a Book Group Kit?
A Book Group Kit is a canvas bag that contains everything that a book discussion group needs to read and discuss a book. Inside are:
- 15 copies of the same book
- A notebook containing:
- Discussion questions
- Book reviews
- Author information
- Enhancements (pictures, articles, maps, etc.) that help group members better understand the book
- Tips on how to conduct a book group
What are the advantages of book groups using the Library's Book Group Kits?
- Book group members frequently have difficulty finding a copy of a book they want because it is checked out from the library. This is an easier way of borrowing books.
- Sometimes book groups cannot find discussion questions.
Discussion questions come with every Kit.
How many book group kits does the library have?
- 32
- We plan to add more kits.
What kind of BOOK TITLES are in the Book Group Kits?
- Fiction and Non-fiction
- Contemporary and Classic
- Most books are for adults
- Some titles are also appropriate for teen readers
How will Book Group Kits help people who have always wanted to start a book discussion group?
- Each Kit contains SUGGESTIONS on how to start and conduct a book group.
- Each Kit contains bibliographies of BOOKS and WEBSITES about book groups.
How does a book group borrow a Book Group Kit?
If I have questions about the Book Group Kits whom do I ask?
My book group would like to donate part or all of a new Book Group Kit. Can we do this?
- The Library would like to continually add new Book Group Kits.
We would love donations. Each kit costs about $180.00
My group members have books from past book discussions that they no longer want. May we donate them?
- Yes. Donated books in good condition will help us build more Book Group Kits.
