Book Discussion Resources

If you belong to a book discussion group or you would like to start one, and you live or work in Rochester, Rochester Hills, or Oakland Township, you're invited to check out our selection of book discussion kit titles provided by the Friends of the Rochester Hills Public Library. Each kit contains multiple copies of a title selected specifically for book discussions by our librarians. Some kits contain a large print copy.

• Book discussion kits may be checked out for eight-week periods to library cardholders who live or work in Rochester, Rochester Hills, or Oakland Township.
• Persons who live or work in Rochester, Rochester Hills, or Oakland Township may place holds to reserve book discussion kits.
• No more than two kits at a time may be checked out to an individual.
• Book discussion kits may be renewed once if there are no holds.
• Overdue book discussion kits will be fined $1.00 a day. Kits that are returned incomplete will be fined $1.00 a day once the due date is reached until the missing part is returned.
• Do not put kits in book drop boxes.
• Please check contents of book discussion kits against the content list included in the kit before you return the kit to the library. Replacement cost of an entire kit is $180.00. Replacement cost of individual parts of the kit will depend on the cost of each particular item.
• Please direct any book discussion kit question to an Adult Services Librarian - or call 248-650-7130.
