Book Group Reading Kits
Attention All Book Group Members!
November 17, 2009- Last year, the Paso Robles City Library added a new collection just for Book Groups: Reading Group Kits which include ten copies of a proven title and laminated discussion questions – all in a handy book bag for easy transportation. These kits have been in such demand that this year the Library has more than doubled its collection size! Designed to aid local book groups, Reading Group Kits ensure that each member has a copy of the title to read and that the discussion is thought provoking. Kits check out for six weeks to give groups plenty of time to read and discuss the title before they must be returned.

Holiday “Giving Tree” at the Paso Robles City Library
November
13, 2009 - Is your family a fan of the Paso
Robles City Library? Do you enjoy all the wonderful
materials and terrific free programs? Have you ever
attended an author visit, participated in any of the
summer reading programs or watched your child make a
craft during children’s craft days? As the end of
the year approaches, the Paso Robles Library
Foundation has provided you with an easy and
meaningful way to give back to our beloved City
Library; the “Giving Tree.” Located near the main
Circulation Desk in the Library, the Giving Tree is
covered with ornaments which represent book covers
for new titles the Library would like to own and
circulate to the public.
Giving is simple! Choose a book ornament from the tree and bring it to the Circulation Desk with your donation for either $25 for an adult book or $20 for a children’s book. There is a label on the back of each ornament to list the name of the person to whom you would like the book to be dedicated (or just place your own name in the space). Once staff receives your selected title, they will place a donation label in the book to commemorate this special occasion.
All donations are fully tax deductible.
The Paso Robles City Library is located at 1000 Spring Street and is open Monday through Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. For more information about the “Giving Tree” or other opportunities to support the Paso Robles Library Foundation, call the Library at 237-3870.
