Kent District Library is pleased to offer the Book Club in a Bag program, which allows book groups to check out a kit of everything they’ll need for their book discussion! Each canvas bag contains 12 copies of a book and a printed list of discussion questions. Kits check out for six weeks and are reservable in advance. They may be picked up and returned at any KDL branch.
