This collection is an expanded group of BOOKSinBAGS© sets suitable for public libraries. This extensive collection includes over 800 books (multiple bags at each level) and is often grant-funded. All bags have mentor instructions and label(s) for each book.
In this chapter, author Diane Karlis explains how the BOOKSinBAGS© collections have been used in several Michigan public libraries.
