Sending a book club request to Minitex?

According to the New York Times, 5 million Americans gather every few weeks for book club discussions. At Minitex, we have seen an increase in these type of requests and we attempt to fill as many as possible. 

Here are few ways you can help your patrons receive their items:

• Indicate in the borrowing/request notes the item is for a book club discussion. If this information is not present, Minitex might assume your patron is sending a duplicate request.
• Please inform your patrons to not choose books/videos that are on the best seller list or less than 6 months old. It is very difficult for Minitex to fulfill requests on these types of items.
• Request items no more than 1 month before the book club meeting. That way your patrons will have enough time to read or view the material without receiving overdue notices.

Please contact Raquel Franklin if you need assistance with book club requests.
