Reading & Discussion is a program that lends to groups, organizations, and schools, books and other resources for libraries, public meetings, community centers and/or clubs, and book clubs meeting in public venues among others. Our lending library houses over 150 titles of multiple copies of books for loan (usually in sets of 15), some with study guides. To view the lending library by theme or alphabetically go to: Complete Lending Library Book List.

Meet at your local library!

Libraries often have meeting space available for public programs. You may wish to inquire at your local library if there is a reading group which meets regularly, or you may wish to start such a group at your library. Public libraries may use UHC books free of charge for reading and discussion programs.

Discussion leaders

UHC offers leaders to facilitate reading discussions with audiences of fifteen or more meeting in a public place. If you are interested in having a discussion leader for your program, complete a discussion leader request form.

Private Book Clubs and Individual Access

For groups which are not open to the public and not held in a public venue, there is a charge of $25 per book title. Or, with an annual donation of $25, an individual may gain access to the UHC library for personal use (single copies of books).
