The Bodley Club Library was a book subscription service for libraries. Operated by Booklovers' Library, its service was similar to that of The Tabard Inn Library, but unlike the Tabard Inn Library's direct-to-consumer model, the Bodley Club Library focused on serving libraries, its where books appeared in blue covers to prevent them from being turned in at Tabard Inn library stations, as public libraries tended to lend the books out free of charge. The Booklovers' Library owned both the Tabard Inn Library and the Bodley Club Library.
