If your library or local group wants to start a book discussion club but doesn't want to spend the money on buy copies of the selected title, then I suggest looking to your local library to see if you can check out book kits. Book kits include at least 15 copies of the book, an audio book and discussion questions. If your library does not have kits, see if your interlibrary loan librarian can borrow these from other libraries.
When the DCPL started the 20/20 Book Club we did not have money in our budget for buying extra copies of books. With borrowing book kits from other libraries, this has helped us decide on titles to select and provided us with the necessary amount of copies for our members. Thanks to Kentucky Department of Library and Archives, Kenton County Public Library, Campbell County Public Library and Boone County Public Library for helping us provide quality book kits to our customers.

Great idea letting others know about the book kits. I think book clubs are really popular now.
