“Book Club in a Bag” Kits Are Here

May 16th, 2008

Book Club in a Bag kits are now available for check-out at the Dr. James Carlson branch of the Fargo Public Library. Each kit has everything you need to start your own book club or keep your current club supplied. Zippered tote bags contain 10 copies of a single title and a list of discussion questions about the book to help spark your conversation. Kits check out for six weeks on one card and the borrower is responsible for all materials in the kit as well as any overdue fines. Kits are located at the Carlson Information Desk and may be reserved up to one year in advance by calling 476-5980. They may also be sent to any Fargo Public Library location for pick-up. Ten different kits are now available, including both fiction and non-fiction titles. Three of the kits include two copies each in large print.
