Book Group Kits 

We have put together three Book Group Kits.   There is a kit for ‘Prodigal Summer’, ‘Samurai’s Garden’ and ‘Shipping News’.  Each kit contains multiple copies of the book and a small binder of information such as a book summary, biographical information about the author, discussion questions and a book group primer. 

These kits will be available soon – by next week we’re hoping – and can be requested.  Search by title under ‘Book Group Kit’ and the three titles will come up. 

Please contact me with any questions you may have. 

 

Disaster Planning & Collection Salvage 

For those of you who could not attend the system meeting: I will be sending the handouts in delivery.  Thanks!
