This not a book club where a single book is read and everyone meets to discuss. Members meet to share a book report on their latest inspiring book. Hear of a new page-turner, or just share your enjoyment of books with others.

Book Club in a Box allows you to borrow a whole Box of books of the same title
(usually 13 copies per Box, though there could be anywhere from 10-20 copies).
You get to keep the Box for 6 weeks.
There are over 50 titles to choose from. Follow this link to peruse the list.
We ask that you choose 2 or 3 different titles as Boxes are popular, and this increases your chance of getting a Box quickly.

Please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery
When the Box arrives we'll contact you. Simply come and check it out on your Shasta Public Libraries Library Card.
