State guide

Arizona

Arizona’s state library publishes statewide reading and interlibrary loan resources, but the public book club kit programs found were run by local library systems. The Arizona Talking Book Library also runs Book Chat discussions for eligible readers who use its accessible library service.

Checked against official sources on October 4, 2026. Rules and links change; confirm with the office listed before you act.

No statewide public book-club-kit lending program was found on the Arizona State Library pages searched; the Arizona Talking Book Library does sponsor Book Chat discussions on Zoom for eligible readers.
Interlibrary loan
The State of Arizona Research Library says many of its resources may be requested through interlibrary loan for use in a local public library, and Arizona also publishes AZNET interlibrary loan protocols.

What to do next

  1. Check your local library’s kit page first, because Arizona book club kits are managed by local systems rather than a statewide public kit catalog found here.
  2. If a title is only at the State of Arizona Research Library, ask your public library whether it can request it through interlibrary loan.
  3. If you use the Arizona Talking Book Library, ask about Book Chat and the online catalog when setting up service.
