Book Club Kits

Book Club Kits are available for check out at the library.  Each kit contains 15 - 20 copies of a title and a list of discussion questions.  Kits need to be reserved 1 month in advance of when they are to be distributed to a book club and are due 6 weeks after the checkout date.  This comes to us as a service through our District center in Johnstown.

Only fill this out if the person picking up the kit is different then the person requesting the kit.
Agreement statement
Book kits will be loaned for a 6-week period. The book kit, consisting of 15 books, must be picked up by the requesting card holder unless otherwise specified on the request form. (Anyone picking up the book kit must have an IFL library card.) Persons signing out materials are responsible for loss or damage of the materials, including replacement fees. If book kits are not picked up in a timely manner, a $5.00 fee will be assessed on the requesting card holder's account. Book kits are not considered returned without all 15 books and the accompanying folder.

In order to ensure that all groups are able to utilize book kits, libraries/facilitators must agree to the following terms and conditions.

  • Reservations may be canceled by the district at any time. We will make every effort to provide the requested kit, and when this is not possible we will work with you to provide an alternate kit.
