Talk and Tote Collections:

If you are interested in starting your own book discussion group or energizing your current one - then pick up a Talk and Tote at your Scottsdale Public Library.

Talk and Totes contain multiple copies of a book, and in some cases, author information, and discussion questions. Some even have a DVD so your group can compare the book and movie.

The library has a large number of titles to choose from. Just enter "Talk and Tote" into a keyword search in the library's catalog for what's available today. To check out a Talk and Tote, request the items online. You will be able to check out the Talk and Tote for 45 days.
