Your own book club

The library has a collection of book club sets that we are willing to lend to you.  Here are some guidelines on using our book club sets:

• Our book club sets are used by local book clubs and libraries across the state. Therefore all titles are not available at all times.
• Please call the library (641-257-6319) or email kamrynk@charles-city.lib.ia.us to check availability of titles and reserve your set.
• Because the sets are used by so many, it is important that the entire set be returned at the agreed upon date.
• Book club sets checkout as a whole. You will check out the number requested as a set and make the individual copies available to your club members. You will also be returning the set as a whole.
