We wanted to let you know that we’ve made some updates and changes to our book club in a bag borrowing policies in an effort to keep the program as fair as possible to all the fantastic book clubs in Delaware County. Below are some reminders of existing policies and a few new ones. The most important update to note is that going forward, patrons will only be allowed to book/check out one Book Club in a Bag kit for a given time period, with the exception of some small overlap between when book club leaders collect one book and distribute another to their groups.
Please feel free to call or email the Reference Desk at the Haverford Township Free Library with any questions or concerns. You can reach us at
reference@haverfordlibrary.org
or 610-446-3082, extension 201.
