Check out the library's version of a subscription box! Simply fill out a form, and a selector will choose 3-5 books for you based off your preferences. The books will be placed on hold for you at your selected location for one week. You will receive an email once the books are ready to be picked up.
Books are due back 3 weeks after check out; however, you can log into your account to renew any books you have not finished reading yet (as long as they don't have a hold by another patron). You can get a new box every 3 weeks, 6 weeks, or whenever you are ready.
Book Boxes are for all ages! Please fill out a separate form for each person.
