How to Request a Book Club in a Bag
Step 1: Select Your Book
Please take a look at our Book Club kits and choose which title you’d like to request. We recommend you find a couple of titles in case the title you want is already booked.
Note - Bags automatically come with 10 copies of a book. If a set is missing a copy, it is noted in the description.
Step 2: Review the Availability Calendar
Choose from the calendars below to view the availability of our book club in a bag sets. Each calendar has both a yearly view of all book club titles and an individual year-at-a-glance for each book set.
While we try to maintain the calendars as booking requests come in, please allow for a 1-week grace period for new bookings to be added to the calendars.
Step 3: Fill out the Request Form
Please fill out this Book Club in a Bag Request Form when you have chosen your book club set.
Filling out the form does not immediately book the set for you. Staff will update the calendar as bookings are confirmed.
Step 4: Wait for your confirmation email
Staff will reach out after reviewing your request to confirm your booking and to provide you with your return date for the bag. Closer to your start date, you will receive another email letting you know that the bag is ready to be picked up at your chosen library location.
When you receive your notification email, please ask for the bag at the service desk, and staff will retrieve your bag. Please do not attempt to pick up your book club bag before receiving either the confirmation or the pickup notification emails.
Please email bookclubinabag@brantfordlibrary.ca with any questions.
