Borrow a book club set
If you run your own book club, we have over 150 book club sets that can be borrowed for an extended loan period of up to six weeks. A minimum of one week's notice is required for book club reservations.
To view the collection, check availability, and to reserve a book club set, please use our book club reservation system. View the full instructions on how to use the book club reservation system.
How it works
- All copies within a book club set will be signed out to your library card and you assume responsibility for the set
- You will be asked to show your library card when you pick up your book club set. Copies may not be picked up individually by members of your group
- Any lost, damaged, or late items will be charged to your account. Fines can accumulate quickly at 0.30/day for each copy
- Keep track of your set using a book club tracking sheet.
- Please return all books together and on time to avoid late fees and to keep book clubs running smoothly for other groups
- Book club sets cannot be renewed
Custom book club sets
If there is a title your group wants to read that the library does not own as a book club set, we may be able to get copies from other libraries to create a custom book club set.
We require a minimum of one month's notice for custom sets and cannot accommodate requests for new titles. Titles for custom sets must have been published at least one year ago. With all custom sets, we cannot guarantee to supply sufficient copies for all your members.
If you would like to request a custom set, please contact book club services.
Book club sets to-go
In a hurry? Try our book club sets to-go. These sets have 10 books plus a discussion guide and are on the shelves ready to be signed out immediately. View available book club sets to-go in our catalogue.
Book club sets to-go are not considered returned until all 10 copies, the discussion guide, tracking sheet, and bag are all returned.
Donate to book club services
Donations of book club sets are gladly accepted at any library location and will be utilized in the best interest of our organization. If not added to the book club collection, books may be added to our shelves elsewhere or sold to raise funds for collections and services. Tax receipts cannot be issued for book donations.
