Holds By Patrons
Individual book club members may place their own holds by phone, through their online account, in person, or email.
Book Club Bags
The Book Club Bag collection was made possible by funding from the Downers Grove Public Library Foundation through the Lillian Culbertson Restricted Use Gift Fund.
More than 50 ready-to-go Book Club Bags are available for check out. Find titles organized by Fiction and Nonfiction below. Titles that were added within the last year are indicated by an asterisk (*).

For more details on any of these options, contact the library or pick up a pamphlet at the Adult and Teen Services Desk on the second floor of the library.
