For Book Clubs
We can help you pick titles that will incite conversations, and create discussion guides full of background information questions about the book!
Our Book Club Selections include both fiction and non-fiction titles. We have ten copies of each title in our print collection. Another great place to look? Our StaffPicks! You can also browse over a thousand titles from past editions on LibraryThing.
Our librarians have compiled author biographies, reviews, discussion questions, and interesting articles from a variety of online sources for over 60 titles.
