Bridgeport Public Library patrons and LibShare library staff members may borrow book club kits provided they agree to follow these guidelines: 

Responsible Parties 

• Each book included in the Book Club Kit will be checked out under one account, such as the account of the Bridgeport Public Library patron coordinating their own book club or the LibShare library staff member facilitating a book club at their library. 
  
• The account checking out the Book Club Kit will be responsible for all items included in the kit and will be responsible for any costs associated with missing or damaged items. 
  
• All items in the Book Club Kit must be returned to the Bridgeport Public Library together in the bin provided with the Kit. 
  Only patrons with a Bridgeport Public Library card or LibShare staff account may borrow a Book Club Kit. 

Requesting Book Club Kits 

• The Bridgeport Public Library requires at least a 1 week notice before a Book Club Kit may be checked out. Kits may be requested up to 6 weeks in advance.
• Some Book Club Kits are housed off-site, so advance notice is required to account for possible transit times. 
  
• Requests for new titles to add to Book Club Kits are not accepted at this time. If you have a suggestion for a new title, we encourage you to join our current in-house book clubs. 

Borrowing Book Club Kits 

• Book Club Kits are checked out for a 6-week loan period with no renewals. Please contact the Bridgeport Public Library if you need to extend the loan period. 
  
• Only 1 Book Club Kit may be checked out to an individual account at a time.
