Books for Book Clubs!
Running a book club? Rock Island offers a number of titles with multiple copies that can now be checked out individually. Check the shelf, PrairieCat catalog, or with Reference Desk staff for titles. It's a good source for books and discussion points.
Full kits may be available through the PrairieCat catalog.
Don't forget to search our Download & Stream services to find digital eBook or audiobook copies for readers who prefer those formats.
