Borrow a set of books free of charge!

The WV Library Commission lets teachers, librarians and book clubs borrow book sets free of charge: 15 copies of the same book.  Order them through your local library. Voices of West Virginia donated 25 books written by writers featured on this website, so you can listen to the writer read samples from the book during the meeting and read the book at home!
