 About the
Program |
|
Are you looking for the tools to start your own book club or do you already belong to an existing reading group? Monterey County Free Libraries can provide you with the resources you need for a successful program! The Library offers bags that contain 10 paperback copies of a book, discussion questions, discussion leader tips, and a sign-out sheet to help keep track of the
bag's contents.

Requesting
a bag
- Any Monterey County Free Libraries patron can
borrow a book club bag.

Checking out a bag
