Can I suggest a title for a book club or buddy read kit?
Yes! We are open to input and want a selection that resonates with the UMN community. However, this is a pilot program with limited funding, so we cannot guarantee that any suggestions will be purchased. Please email libfunreads@umn.edu with your suggestions.
