The Box You’ll Like the Best

Most of you have had that feeling, after unpacking a box. You turn the empty box over in your hands, maybe close the flaps and have that moment when you just – pause. Then you think, “Should I really get rid of this box? I could probably use this box later. It’s a nice box.”

We have a better box (maybe even the best box). It’s a box that feels great in your hands, one you can enjoy having with zero guilt. A very cool box and it’s full of very cool stuff.

Each month, no matter your age, you can sign up to get a Bookworm Box from us. We have boxes designed for Littles (PreK-2nd), Kids (grades 3-6), teens (grades 7-12), and adults. We’ll handpick some books, gather a couple of activities or a playlist or something fun to do, throw in some goodies and pack it all up in a sweet cardboard box decorated with Cornelius’ handsome face. Come in, check out your box, take it home and live it up.

Dig into the books and have a ball with the goodies! When your due date is up, put the books in the box and return it to us for next month’s refill. Each month is a different theme, different books, and a new adventure in reading. And it all comes in a very cool box.

Our June round of Bookworm Boxes have been claimed. Registration for July’s adult box is open now and youth Bookworm Box registration opens later in June. Sign up to try a different kind of reading experience. We think you’ll find out that it’s your new, favorite box.

Whooah, we’re half way there

Can you believe it? Since March, big changes have taken place and we’re now halfway done with our construction project. If you’ve seen our recent photos, it looks less like a demolition area and the new design is coming to life. Now you can see the shape of the plaza and new features at the rear of the library coming to life. Keep reading to see photos and find out what’s next.
