How to Use Book Club in a Bag Kits
Check out our new online Book Clubs – a great way to enjoy the book club experience and connect with others while maintaining social distancing. The programs are conducted through Zoom and you can look for ebook and eaudiobook versions of the titles through Overdrive/Libby or Hoopla. Take a look at Hoopla's Book Club Hub for recommended titles and online resources.

Literacy Book Club in a Bag
Literacy Book club in a Bag was created for Book Clubs for adults who wish to improve their reading and discussion skills in a social setting.
The Literacy Book Club in a Bag offers the same materials as our standard Book Club in a Bag kits, with titles that are suited to EAL students, adults who struggle with literacy, and adults who enjoy shorter stories.
Call Literacy Services at 306.777.6009 or send an e-mail to literacy@reginalibrary.ca for more information or to book a Literacy Book Club in a Bag for your group.
Notice: Book Club Gatherings
While we are pleased to supply access to our Book Club in a Bag kits, we cannot endorse the gathering of people in any way that does not conform to the Saskatchewan Health guidelines for public and private gatherings.
Please help keep yourself, your club members, and our community safe by following the Province's most recent guidelines for public and private gatherings.
