Woodland does the library thing a little differently. However, this is a cool announcement from the Yolo Count Library for those of you in book clubs. Jenn is in two different book clubs....I just never got into the whole book club thing.

Read Around Yolo (R.A.Y.) Unveiled
(Woodland, CA) – On November 1, Yolo County Library will unveil “Read Around Yolo” (R.A.Y.), a new program designed to support existing book clubs as well as to encourage the formation of new book clubs, throughout Yolo County.
Thanks to generous start-up funding from the Friends of the Davis Public Library, and donations from the West Sacramento Friends of the Library and the Winters Friends of the Library, the Yolo County Library will be loaning R.A.Y. book club bags to any Yolo County Library cardholder for use with his or her book club. Each R.A.Y. book club bag will consist of ten paperback book copies of one title, as well as discussion leader materials. R.A.Y. book club bags can be reserved up to one year in advance and will be available from any of the seven Yolo County branch library locations for an extended loan period of sixty days.
“Read Around Yolo is an example of a great collaboration between the Library and our Friends groups to share the joy of reading with many communities throughout the county,” said Yolo County Librarian Patty Wong.
Currently, titles include a broad selection of fiction and non-fiction adult materials. Additional information, including a title list and other book club support materials, along with branch locations can all be found on the Yolo County Library Web site at: www.yolocountylibrary.org <http://www.yolocountylibrary.org/> .
To find out more about the program or to reserve a R.A.Y. book club bag, visit your local branch location or contact the Davis Branch Library’s Reference Desk at (530) 757-5593 ext. 3.
