Each kit is a sturdy tote bag that contains up to 10 copies of a single title and a list of sample discussion questions to get you started. If you don’t find a title here that interests you, we also have access to multiple copies of books through the State Library of Iowa to borrow through Interlibrary Loan. Contact the Reference desk for availability.
