About the Kits
The State Library offers numerous adult and youth book discussion kits, as well as programming kits, in a variety of genres and themes.
Book discussion kits include copies of the book (up to 15 for adult kits and 20 for youth), an audiobook when available, and a discussion guide. Some youth book kits also include a large print and/or Spanish copy of the title.
Programming kits encourage kids and adults to explore, create, and learn at the library and at home. These kits contain many developmentally appropriate materials—books, CDs, DVDs, electronics, games or toys, and resource guides. For more specific information on these kits, please visit our
Programming Kits page.
