Reading doesn't have to be a solitary passion! Register your book club to gain access to our Book Club Collection.

Registering your book club with us will give access to our Book Club Collection, which contains hand-picked titles that are perfect for book clubs. The selection is updated regularly, and includes discussion notes to spark ideas and conversation.

Having registered access to this collection means you can borrow up to ten copies of a title at once, for a fee of $2.90 per copy, with discussion notes included.

Once you have chosen your title, copies will be issued to your Darebin Libraries membership card for a loan period of 6 weeks. Titles will be made available for collection at your specified Darebin library branch.

To register or learn more, leave an enquiry on our Ask a librarian page.
