Hot off the press! Our Book Group to Go Kits have gotten some great new additions, so if your book club is in need of something new to read, look no further!

We provide the books and discussion questions, and all you need is your library card and a group of friends! One member of your group will reserve and pick up the kit through our online booking system and distribute the books to everyone in the group. When your meeting is over, just collect all the books and return the kit to the library’s Main Desk.

To see all available titles or to reserve a book club kit, please visit https://sawyerfreelibrary.org/discover/services-for-you/book-groups-to-go/ and select "Reserve a book club here!" at the top to claim the title of your choice!
