Paso Robles City Library Adds New Collection!

The Paso Robles City Library has something special just for Book Groups: Reading Group Kits! The kits include ten copies of a proven title and laminated discussion questions – all in a handy book bag for easy transportation. Reading Group Kits are designed to aid local book groups in meeting planning; ensuring that each member has a copy of the title to read and that the discussion is thought provoking. Kits check out for six weeks to give groups plenty of time to read and discuss the title before they must be returned.

Titles currently available are (click each title to view a summary):

• Angle of Repose by Wallace Stegner
• Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank
• The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
