Book Club in a Box FAQs

Does it cost anything?

No, it is free to borrow the Book Club in a Box but you must be a member of the library.

Can we borrow more than one kit at a time?

Yes, two kits can be borrowed at one time to allow books to be swapped at meetings. Kits can be borrowed for six (6) weeks.

How do we return the Book Club kits?

The Book Club in a Box must be returned to the desk of any branch during library opening hours. A coordinator with an overdue Book Club in a Box will have their membership BLOCKED until the kit is returned.

Can each book club member return their book separately?

If you borrow the kit you are responsible for all 10 books, the other contents and the box. You should check the contents before you borrow. The kits must be returned complete. The person who borrowed the kit will be held responsible for any missing items.

What if we lose or damage a book?

If your group loses or damages a book, or the box, it must be replaced. Damage includes anything beyond normal wear from reading. You may replace the book with a new copy or pay the replacement cost at any Randwick City Library branch. The person who borrowed the kit is responsible for any fees and charges incurred.
