Our book subscription boxes are back with a new name! To get a tote, just register for the "event" in the month before. On the first of the next month, you will get an email that your tote is ready for you, and you stop in to the library to pick it up (or schedule a curbside pickup!). 

For this month, our theme is: TBD

A few extra details about the totes:

There is no cost for our totes! We work hard to make sure we can keep all of our programs absolutely FREE. 

Every tote will include a library book that will need to be checked out. If you need a library card, we can set you up with one.

Some months we will also include a book for you to keep! 

The tote will also be checked out to your library card, so make sure you return it when you're done!

Subscription totes will come with a curated collection of snacks and other treats. Please make sure you note any allergies on the registration form! 

You can only receive one tote each time, and need to re-register for every distribution cycle! 

If you have any questions, you can email valerie.watson@libraryweb.org. 

ENJOY!
