Book Group Kits
Book Group Kits make planning your next meeting a breeze! Each kit contains multiple copies of a discussable title, plus a discussion guide, in an easy to transport duffel bag. You can set your own due date, up to 90 days from the day you check it out. Titles are always changing, so there’s always something new to read and discuss.
