Reading group sets
We provide sets of books for groups to borrow
There are over 1700 sets available. The focus is on modern fiction, but we also provide some classics and non-fiction works.
Most sets have 10 copies of a title and, if available, we can also supply up to 2 large print and 2 spoken word editions for use by group members who have difficulty reading standard print due to sight loss or other conditions.
A membership charge applies - See fees and charges
Find the set you would like to borrow
Before making a request, check whether the set is available.
Existing bookings are blocked out in red. Make sure there is a clear 3 month slot, starting with the month in which you want to pick up the set. For example, if you wish to pick up the set in March, check the spreadsheet to ensure that March, April and May are free. This is to allow for transportation between bookings and to ensure groups get their sets on time.
Once you have checked availability, sets can be booked using the online form or in person at the library where you registered. Multiple requests can be placed on the one form and you can book up to 12 months in advance. You can also request playsets on this form as well.
