Book Club in a Bag

The Public Library now has Book Club in a Bag. It is a kit that contains at least 10 copies of a title plus discussion questions, information about the author, most everything that is needed by a Book Club in one place. For more information on this interesting addition go to the Library web site sblibrary.org, then click Book Clubs and then click Book Club in a bag.

Note: while you are on the Library Web Site, look at the new Santa Barbara Reads book selection: Housekeeping, a novel by Marilynne Robinson.
