Book groups
Yarra Libraries supports community-led book groups and encourages the use of the libraries book set resources to start or join your own book group.
Book groups are a great way to foster stimulating conversation, engage debate and create community connectedness.
Yarra Libraries supports community-led book groups by providing sets of books to borrow.
We offer a great list of titles for your book group to choose from, ranging from current bestsellers, to conversation-starters on hot topics, Australian and international authors, and well-loved literary classics.
This is a free service for all library members. There must be at least one person in your group who is a Yarra Libraries member, and all books in the set will be issued to that person's card.
Start a book group
To start a book group, you need to:

Pick up and return
Book sets can be collected and returned

Book sets can be issued for up to 6 weeks. We do not charge for overdue items, but as other groups will be waiting for titles, it's important that books are returned in a timely manner.
