Private Book Groups

If you have started your own book group, or are thinking about it, we can help! We can order multiple copies of a book of your choice, help you choose a book, or even offer you a place to meet. Please stop in the library to talk, or call us at 978-948-2850.

If you are a group that is already registered with us, you can stop in to complete a Request Form to order books for your group, call us at 978-948-2850, or fill out the Request Form online.
