Other Book Clubs
Did you know that SPL can help you source multiple copies for your book club? Let us know what you’re reading and how many copies you need, and we’ll put out the word to Maine libraries. We recommend reaching out to us 4-6 weeks prior to your discussion, and we’ll let the lending libraries know how long you need the books.
Looking for a place to meet? We can also help with that! Drop us a line.
