July Teen Book Box Registration

Introducing NVDPL’s Teen Summer Book Boxes! 
 
How it works: When you sign up, you’ll receive a box of library books and goodies specifically picked out for you!
 
What’s in the box:
  • 5 library books picked just for you 
  • 1 Advanced Reader Copy or book sale book that you can KEEP forever
  • A tasty treat
  • A fun summer activity or craft
  • Other fun swag
 
How do I pick up my box? You’ll receive an email when your box is ready to pick up, around the 1st of the month. Boxes will be in the holds area of each branch, and clearly labelled with your name. The books in the box are already checked out to you, so you can just grab the box and go. If you don't pick up your box within a week, we will give it to someone on the waitlist -- so please make sure you will be around the first week of the month before you sign up!
 
Who can sign up: Teen Book Boxes are available to anyone ages 12-18.
 
How do I sign up: If you’d like to receive a teen book box, you must sign up through the online registration form by clicking “Register” near the top of this page. You must sign up by the 15th of each month in order to receive the next month’s box. On the 15th of the month, you’ll receive an email with a survey asking about book preferences and food allergies – please fill it out asap!
 
Can I sign up for multiple months? Yes – we’ll be offering book boxes in July, August, and September. This is not an ongoing subscription, so you must register each month for each box you’d like to receive. Registrations close on the 15th of each month,   
 
Returning your books and boxes: Please return your library books and the boxes to the library when you are finished. The book boxes cannot be returned through the book drop; bring them inside and hand them to someone at the Circulation Desk. The library books will be due back at the library three weeks after you check them out.  The rest of the box’s contents are yours to keep!
 
Register by June 15th!
