Read Around Yolo

Read Around Yolo (RAY) is our book club in a bag program.

We need your help! Please take our survey and help us decide what titles to add to the Read Around Yolo collection in 2025. 2025 Potential RAY Title Descriptions [pdf] provides information about each title.

You can check out tote bags that contain 10 paperback copies of a book and discussion materials, including author information, questions, tips on facilitating discussion, and a sign-out sheet to help keep track of the bag’s contents.

Reserve a RAY bag for your book club.
