Save time by having multiple copies of your club’s book selection
delivered to the Barrington Area Library.
Here’s how:
1. Designate a contact person for your group, who will place your order
online,
by phone, or
at the Adult Services Reference Desk at least four weeks before you want
to start reading the book. For best results, place your order as far in
advance as possible.
2. Include the
following information with your request:
-
Title and author of the book
-
Number of copies needed
-
Date of the book club meeting
-
Name of the book club
-
Name and phone number of a contact person
3. The books will
arrive approximately four weeks before your book club meeting. When the
books are available for checkout, the library will call the your group’s
contact person.
4. Your books will
be held at the Adult Services reference desk under the name of your book club.
5. Book club
members may keep the books for five weeks. Members are responsible for
returning the books on time or paying extended use charges.
Multiple copies
of books are available to book clubs if they are at least six months old,
not current best sellers, and not on reserve at other libraries.
Occasionally, the library is unable to fill a request. If this occurs, we
will work with your book club to find an alternate title.
