The Salem Public Library Foundation, the Friends of Salem Public Library, the Oregon Center for the Book, and the Salem Public Library have teamed up to develop a group of Book Club Kits that are now available to area book clubs. Each kit offers 10-12 copies of a single book, author information, and suggested discussion questions.
Kits are available for use on a first-come, first-served basis. Reservations for kits can be arranged at the Salem Public Library Reference Desk in person or by phone at 503-588-6052.
