Book Discussion Group Sets

This page is a resource for librarians; if you’re a discussion group leader or participant looking to borrow book sets, please contact your local library for assistance.

This page contains a downloadable Excel spreadsheet with sets of books available to book discussion groups served by Kansas libraries. Once clicked, the spreadsheet will download automatically. Look for it where your browser stores downloads.
