Welcome to the Book Club in a Bag Program, brought to you by the Hewlett-Woodmere Public Library. Book Club in a Bag is a book discussion kit including 10 copies of a title with an author biography, a reading guide and other information about the book. Kits may be borrowed for an extended loan to allow time to read, discuss and return the material. Book Club in a Bag will give you everything you need to help run your own book discussion group.
Submit the form below for more information and a library representative will get back to you.
