Our Youth Department has created a series of book discussion kits for our patrons to check out and use. Each kit contains 10 copies of the book, a series of discussion questions and a box in which to carry everything. The kits can be checked out for three weeks with two renewals. The person checking out the kit is responsible for all items and they must be returned together. Although the kits were prepared with educators in mind, they are a perfect fit for bookclubs and family book discussions. This selection of titles is appropriate for Grades 3-5. Request one today!
