[Evergreen-general] Does your library manage Book Group Kits via Evergreen?

[DeVries, Aaron]

Hi Dan,
This is a reply to your message from a very long time ago, but I'm curious if you are using Evergreens booking module for this purpose..  We've been using Plymouth Rocket's "Kitkeeper" platform and I just received word that they will be shutting their services down at the end of December.  We already use Evergreen's booking module for our study rooms, but I'm curious if there would be a way for me to also use it for book club kits, allowing patrons to book through our website.  Stumbled on your email and was curious what sort of solution you came up with.  Thanks!

Hi all,



We’re looking to launch a new service in which we create kits for book groups (or book clubs, or any variation of the name) to reserve. Each kit will come with a bunch of copies of the same book along with discussion questions. The idea behind this service is to anticipate different groups’ needs and allow groups to plan out a season of reading by booking months in advance which of our kits they’d like made available.



We’re still hammering out the details, but I was curious to know if other Evergreen sites have programs like this. If so, I’d love to chat with you!



All the best,



Dan Moore (he/him)
