Book Club In a Bag

Friends of the Lake Jackson Library members
show off the Book Club in a Bag bags
which were purchased with a Target community grant.

Thirty Book Club In a Bag bags are now available for checkout. Made possible by a community grant from Target, the bags are available in three reading levels: preschool to third grade, fourth to sixth grade, and junior high to high school.

Each bag contains eight paperback copies of the same title along with discussion questions and booktalk notes. These paperbacks supplement the hardcover editions already available throughout the library system to help provide enough copies for a large group.

The purpose of the bags is to encourage more children to visit the library and read for reasons other than just school projects and to develop a lifetime commitment to reading that will carry over into adulthood and be passed down to future generations of readers.

Teachers, groups, organizations, parents or individuals are encouraged to start their own book clubs and check out a bag.
