Book Club Collection

The Book Club Collection is the Library’s newest service for book lovers! At least five copies of each title are available for your reading group. Here’s what you need to know about checking out items from the Book Club Collection:

The book club collection is shelved at the end of the nonfiction section on the main floor of the library.
Both Waukegan Public Library cardholders and out-of-town borrowers are welcome to check out books from this collection. You may check out all the copies of a book or just a single copy.
To place a hold on multiple copies of a title, please contact a librarian for assistance.
If you check out multiple copies of a book for the use of your book club, remember that items checked out to you are your responsibility. If copies are lost or damaged by someone in your group, you must pay the replacement cost.
