"Critics are by no means the end of the law. Do not think all is over with you because you articles are rejected. It may be that the editor has his drawer full, or that he does not know enough to appreciate you, or you have not gained a reputation, or he is not in a mood to be pleased. A critic's judgment is like that of any intelligent person. If he has experience, he is capable of judging whether a book will sell. That is all."

—Lavina Goodell Junior editor, Harper's Bazaar

Book Club Kits

Cedar Mill Community Library has developed a collection of book club kits to make hosting your own book clubs easier than ever!

Each kit includes 8-10 copies of a book, background information about the author, sample discussion questions and more! We have adult fiction and non-fiction kits that address diverse subjects, characters, situations and points of view.

The kits are holdable and available for loan throughout the county. They have a six week checkout period, and may be renewed once.

To learn more or to post to the book club kit blog: www.cmclbookclub.wordpress.com

To find kits in our catalog and place holds: catalog.wccls.org/polaris/view.aspx?title="book+club+kit"

This new collection is funded by a grant from the Washington County Art, Heritage and Humanities Coalition and the Oregon Cultural Trust.
