Book Club Kits

The West Bend Library is now circulating Book Club Kits for area book clubs. These can be checked out from the library and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The kits circulate for 60 days and have an overdue fine of $1.00 per day. Book Club Kits can be checked out at the Circulation Desk and cannot be returned in the book drop. They MUST be brought back with all of the items in the kit to the Circulation Desk. Patrons can check out up to two kits at a time on their card and the card user must be 18 years or older. The kits can be placed on hold in the Monarch catalog. Kits can also be requested through Interlibrary Loan and transferred to other libraries through WISCAT and in the Monarch Library System. If you borrow them from a library other than West Bend, please return them to that library's Circulation Desk. 

Book Club Kits are designed to help book clubs enhance their discussions by providing all of the materials for the discussion in one place. Each of our Book Club Kits contains discussion questions, books, and an audiobook. Some of the kits also contain large print books, a movie DVD, and an author biography.
