The Book Group in a Bag online reservation system, KitKeeper, has been discontinued by its parent company, Plymouth Rocket. The Library is currently exploring alternative reservation systems. All existing reservations have been preserved to ensure a seamless experience for you.
Until a new online reservation system is in place, you may browse our 400+ Book Group in a Bag kits in the online catalog, then email bookgroupbags@crrl.org to request a reservation.
Please contact the Adult Services desk at your local branch or email bookgroupbags@crrl.org with any questions.
