Book Club in a Bag

Book Blub in a Bag logoDue to the popularity of book clubs, the Library has decided to make it easy for patrons to set up their own club by providing a Book Club in a Bag.

You can check out a canvas tote bag filled with titles used for Library book discussions. We’ll also include a list of questions to use for discussion and tips for making your book club a success. Return the bag when your group is done and then check out another for your next club meeting.

Available Titles

If you are interested in requesting a certain title for your Book Club, call 847-358-5881 ext.108. The Library will contact you within five working days to notify you that your information is received and processed.

Guidelines:

  • Titles available are listed on the Book Club in a Bag bibliography and on this website.
  • We need one week notice for preparing a Book Club in a Bag.
  • We will confirm availability of the requested title, and the pickup date, by telephone within three days.
  • Books will all be checked out to the patron who requests them.
  • The Book Club in a Bag will also include author information, discussion, and book group guidelines.
  • The patron is responsible for returning the Book Club in a Bag to the Reader Assistance Desk on or before the due date.
