Homer Township Public Library

Book Discussion Sets

Do you have a book group? We have the books!

Through a grant funded by the Federal government, the Homer Township Public Library has bought several sets of books for use by discussion groups. Homer Township residents may borrow these book sets - or arrange for their group members to borrow individual copies of books from these sets - directly from our Library. Residents of other library districts may make arrangements through their home libraries to borrow book sets. Of course, libraries are welcome to use these sets for their own book groups, too!

We currently own discussion-group copies of the following titles:

• The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz, by Mordecai Richler (18 copies)
• Atonement, by Ian McEwan (15 copies + 5 large-print copies)
• Bel Canto, by Ann Patchett (18 copies)
• The Dive from Clausen's Pier, by Ann Packer (15 copies + 5 large-print copies)
• The Human Stain, by Philip Roth (18 copies)
• Last Call, by Laura Pedersen (15 copies + 5 large-print copies)
• The Life of Pi, by Yann Martel (20 copies)
• The Many Aspects of Mobile Home Living, by Martin Clark (18 copies)
• The Secret Life of Bees, by Sue Monk Kidd (20 copies)
• Three Junes, by Julia Glass (15 copies + 5 large-print copies)
• The True Story of Hansel and Gretel, by Louise Murphy (15 copies)

Additional sets will be added to our collection in the future. We can also obtain other titles or extra copies of the books listed above for Homer residents.
