Lit Kits FAQs

  • General Questions

    You are welcome to take as many or as few copies as you need for your book club! If you are taking many copies, please consider bringing a bag for easier transport. If all copies of a book from our general collection are currently unavailable, you are also welcome to check out a single copy from the Lit Kit collection.

    Yes! Log into your library account to place holds on as many copies of the title as you would like; these holds need to be placed individually. Alternatively, a member of the circulation staff can assist you with placing the holds.

    Books in this collection can be checked out for 56 days at a time. Like with most of the materials we offer, your checkout will automatically renew an unlimited number of times unless or until a Hold is placed on it, at which point the book will be due at the end of its current check out period.

    Note: the patron who checks out the books to their account will be responsible for their care & return regardless of who uses each copy for the club.

    We would love to hear what you have in mind! You can find instructions for how to submit a purchase suggestion for the library here (library account required). After reviewing your request, the selecting librarian will follow up with their decision. If your suggestion is not selected, we are happy to explore other options for how you or your book club might be able to access it.

    Whenever possible, we try to pull discussion questions directly from the publisher's website. Alternatively, we may use questions from websites such as Reading Group Guides. For your reference, the source of the questions are typically given on the guide.

    Due to extremely low circulation, these special collections have been discontinued for the time being. However, we will make the effort to always have at least one YA title available as a Lit Kit.
