Question: 
​

I live at Arrowhead Gardens with 500+ senior residents. We are looking to start a Zoom book club. The SPL Bookmobile visits us once per month on 2nd Fridays at 9:15am  Is there a way to reserve 5-10 books and have them delivered at one time via Bookmobile?

Response:  (Feb 18, 2021)

Dear John,

Thank you for your question about starting a book group at Arrowhead Gardens.  I am from Mobile Services and will do my best to provide an overview of how book groups work with the bookmobile.  Please send any follow-up questions and replies to bookmobile@spl.org.

Borrowing Books
Books will be delivered on the same day that Mobile Services visits your building.  Depending on your preference, they will be checked out to a single library card or each member of the group individually.  I suggest that each book group member check their own book out on their personal library card so that no one person is responsible for all of the books.  Books are due the next visit.


Reserving Books
Please plan to request your group’s next title at least three weeks before each visit.  If going the individual route, each member will need to contact the library to reserve the book on their library card.  Books are pulled from circulating copies in the library’s regular collection and it takes time to secure all of the copies we need.  


Identifying Books
Since we’re using books from the library’s regular collection there is no set list of books to choose from.  Availability is dependent on the library’s holdings.  We have a handy, preset catalog search for books with multiple available copies that makes this process easier.  Check it out here:  Instant Book Group.  

In general, I find it is useful to think about books that were popular or had a lot of buzz about a year ago – these are titles we probably purchased a lot of copies of, interest has waned so they are available, and we have not yet weeded surplus copies. 

I hope the information above gives you some background and a starting point.  Please let me know what additional questions you have.
​

Sincerely,
Carrie
