Books to Go Kits
 
Have you always wanted to get a book club off the ground and weren't sure where to start? Do you already belong to a book group, but you need assistance with reserved copies, discussion questions, and author biographical information? Then the Prince William Public Library System's BOOKS TO GO! is for you! Bull Run Regional Library, Central Community Library, Chinn Park Regional Library, and Potomac Community Library all carry a variety of book kits. Kits include 10 copies of a title, a notebook with supplemental discussion materials, and contact information for further assistance. The kits circulate for a six week period and are renewable.
