The Scranton Public Library is excited to announce the launch of its new Book Club Kits, available to community members to borrow. The book club kits are designed to provide everything needed for a successful book club meeting, including multiple copies of the book in various formats. Some of the books in our inaugural collection include “The Forest of Vanishing Stars” by Kristin Harmel, “The Glass Castle” by Jeannette Walls, and “Magnolia Palace” by Fiona Davis.

These book club kits are available for a wide range of genres, including fiction, non-fiction, and young adult books. Members of the community can easily browse and check out book club kits from the library’s online catalog or by visiting the library in person.

Need a space to hold a book club meeting? The Scranton Public Library has in-person and virtual meeting spaces available for free. Reserve a meeting space for up to 50 people though the library’s Zoom subscription or one of our in-person meeting spaces. 

“It seems like, now that we are getting past the pandemic, book clubs are popping up everywhere,” says Scott Thomas CEO of the Scranton Public library, “We hear about them in people’s living rooms, in community centers, at the library. This means people are reading and talking, and the library really wants to support that.”

This new service is just one example of the library’s commitment to providing innovative resources and programs to the community. The book club kits are now available for checkout..
