I schedule our Book Club every Fall. Using LendingKey makes it easy to reserve what we need. Not having to buy or reserve each book is such a HUGE savings for us! — GFPL Book Club organizer and patron

In your own book club? Looking to start one in Great Falls?

The Great Falls Public Library is here to help.

We have almost 150 different Book Kits FREE for the community to use.

Our new LendingKey reservation system allows you to plan your calendar of reading and reserve a Book Kit for the date of your choice. Items are checked out for 60 days at a time. The day the item is reserved is the start of the 60-day checkout, kits are due back to the Library on or before the 60th day.

Patrons and Libraries checking kits out are responsible for making sure there is enough time to have the kit sent and returned in courier or mail.

Each Book Kit has multiple copies of the same book in a tote.

The tote gets checked out to one person, who is responsible for returning all materials when your club is finished.

Search for them in our LendingKey catalog!

Reservations made by GFPL and GFPL Bookmobile Patrons will be available at the Great Falls Public Library for pickup on the first day reserved.

For alternative pickup arrangements, please contact us at reservations@greatfallslibrary.org

PATRONS FROM PARTNER LIBRARIES:

See the help section to see if your Library is in the Partners

Reservations made by PARTNERS PATRONS (e.g. Missoula Public Library, Bitterroot Public Library) will be sent via courier to the Library associated with the card for pickup. For alternative pickup arrangements, please contact us at reservations@greatfallslibrary.org

The 60-day checkout starts when the book kit is shipped to the reservation library.

***TO RESERVE YOUR KIT LONGER THAN THE ALLOWED 60 DAYS (INCLUDING TRANSIT TIME), PLEASE PLACE A SECOND HOLD IN LENDINGKEY STARTING IMMEDIATELY AFTER YOUR FIRST RESERVATION ENDS***
