Library Book Clubs

State guide

Idaho

Idaho’s state library agency is the Idaho Commission for Libraries, which administers statewide services including ShareIdaho resource sharing and the long-running Let’s Talk About It discussion program. I did not find a current statewide public "book club kit" or "book club in a bag" lending page on the Commission’s official site, but I did find multiple local Idaho public libraries with book clubs or kits.

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

What to do next

  1. If your local library offers interlibrary loan, ask whether it participates in ShareIdaho before assuming an item is unavailable.
  2. For statewide discussion programming, check the current Let’s Talk About It schedule and then confirm details directly with the hosting library.
  3. If you need a ready-made kit in Idaho, check nearby public library district pages directly; local offerings were easier to find than a statewide kit program.
