ZSR Book Club Kits

Want to start a book club? We’ve made it easier for you with ZSR Book Club Kits! Each kit comes in a canvas tote bag and includes 10-12 paperback copies of popular fiction and nonfiction titles and access to an online discussion guide and additional resources, such as author interviews and suggested read-alikes. The loan period for book club kits is 1 month and the kits can be renewed for an additional month if needed.

This program reflects our continued efforts to support our community of readers, and provide resources and opportunities that connect students, faculty, and staff to information, each other, and the wider world.
