Library Book Clubs
Library-Led Book Clubs
The library has many options for people who like to get together and discuss good books!
Requesting Multiple Copies of the Same Book for Your Own Book Club
If the library does not have enough copies of a book for your group, we can sometimes request additional copies from other libraries in Minnesota. Please do not place book club requests on MNLINK yourself. Contact the Interlibrary Loan department at 507-328-2366 or email us with the request. We will need to know the book title and when you need the books.
These kits contain 10 copies of a book, plus a reading guide.
