Do you belong to a book/literary group or are you starting one? Are you looking for materials to use in your book group? Are you in need of new materials that will foster information literacy? If you answered “YES”, this is the program for you.

The Dover Public Library is now offering a new adult service…Books To Go. Books To Go was developed to provide new and established literary groups with book discussion materials. Each bag contains a content list, ten (10) to twenty-five (25) copies of a pre-selected title specifically for book discussions and an accompanying folder with discussion questions and information about the author.
