Have you ever heard of Book of the Month? What about OwlCrate?

The Lit Kit is just like those boxes - except it's FREE! The Lit Kit is a free customized box for teens ages 14-17 filled with 3-4 goodies AND up to 2 YA library books that we'll choose for you (please note: the library books must be returned).

Registration begins on the 28th of the previous month and will close on the 5th of the month, or when registration reaches the maximum amount of registrations. 

On the 10th of the month, The Lit Kit will be available to be picked up at the Library location of your choosing. This can be picked up inside of the branch, or via curbside appointment. If more than one location is closed on the 10th, the Lit Kit will be available the next day all three building locations are open.

Lit Kits will be held for a week before the items are returned to the library.
