Kids love books, and kids love clubs. Voila, the Fond du Lac Public Library has put together Book Club Kits for kids. Each kit comes with eight copies of the same book accompanied by discussion questions. They can be checked out for 60 days (instead of the usual 21 days for a single book).
The Fond du Lac Public Library is lending Kindle e-readers loaded with kids’ and teens’ chapter books. Books such as the uber-popular Divergent, Hunger Games, Percy Jackson and Harry Potter series are preloaded on the devices. The Kindles can be borrowed for 21 days and can be renewed just like other library materials. Children checking them out must have parents sign a release form.
The Kindles are available at the Main Desk in the downtown library.
