Book Club Express

You are here

Our Book Club Express (BCE) bag contains everything you need to host your own book club!

BCE bags offer a variety of genres in English and Spanish for adult and teen book club groups. Each BCE bag includes ten copies of the book, one set of discussion questions, one set of discussion leader tips, and a summary of the book.

Not every book is for every book club. Please ask a librarian for help if you need a recommendation.
