South Lanarkshire Libraries Book Groups

What is a book group collection?

Book group collections are sets of 10-15 fiction or non-fiction items, which are a mix of printed and audio-visual material. We have over 200 collections which include large print and talking books. Titles for the collection are chosen by recommendation and by monitoring retail sales, library loans, critical reviews, and book prize lists. If you have any suggestions for books to add to our collection, please email hamilton@library.s-lanark.org.uk.

Who can borrow a book group collection?

The collections are for the use of book groups registered to our libraries.
