The KitKeeper site for Book Club in a Bag kits is temporarily offline. Unfortunately, no new Book Club in a Bag reservations may be made at this time. Previous bookings will still be processed.
More information will be posted when it is available, including expected downtime.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Brand new book club kits have arrived at CLMA! Like our Book Club in a Bag Kits for adults, the Junior Book Club in a Bag Kits have age-appropriate books for children aged 7-12 and are available for a 6-week loan period.
Aimed to help elementary students develop literacy and critical thinking skills, discussion questions are included to help facilitate group discussions. Perfect for use in the classroom or as an activity for groups and clubs!
