Ten copies of a single title, an author biography, discussion questions, a list of suggested further reading, and a brochure for the database Literature Resource Center: http://www.sclibs.net/resources.aspx#Literature How long can I keep a kit? Kits may be checked out for 8 weeks. Renewals are not allowed. How can I reserve a kit? Reservations can be made by phone or by visiting your nearest library location. Can my book club have a group library card? Kits will only be checked out to one member who will then be responsible for the contents. Book club cards are not available. Where do I return the Book Club Bags? Return the bag directly to the Circulation Desk, not into the book drop. A receipt will be given to the borrower on return of the complete bag. Are there fines for overdue Book Club Bags? Overdue fines for the Book Club Bags will be $1.00 per day with a $10.00 limit. Replacement costs of the Bags will vary as do the costs for each individual title. Has your book club found a great read worth sharing with sister discussion groups? If so, consider donating used copies to the Sarasota County Library System to create a new book bag. We will honor your contribution with a book plate representing your club in each copy and a thank you on the library’s web site. Here’s how it works: Collect 10 copies of the same edition (paperbacks only, please) and bring them to one of our eight library locations. Indicate to the staff member accepting the books which book club or organization you represent. Leave contact information for yourself or designated club member. For more information, call 861-5000 and ask for the library book bag donation program. All book donations are tax deductible. We are grateful for your consideration!
