Teen Book Box Subscription Now Available
What is a Book Box?
A Book Box is a library subscription box that you pick up monthly at Richards Memorial Library. Inside are two books, plus treats to enjoy while reading the books. Each box also includes a comment card, so you can give feedback about what you liked – or didn’t. When you’re done, return the books but keep everything else! Best of all, this program is free.
What's the Teen Book Box All About?
Designed for ages 12-17.
Subscriptions are available January through March 2022.
A limited number of subscriptions are available. If all spots are full, you will be placed on a waitlist.
You may cancel your subscription any time by contacting the library in person, by phone (508-754-0793) or email (richards@cwmars.org).
How Does It Work?
Fill out this Google registration form with some basic information and your reading preferences.
(Or copy and paste this link into your browser: https://forms.gle/J1qUsrUptGoDdMaz7 )
We’ll select books each month that we think you’ll love to check out! Plus we’ll add some treats and other surprises to your box.
Book boxes will usually be ready the second week of each month. We will contact you by email when your book box is ready to be picked up (you will have one week to pick up your box from the library).
Book box selections will be checked out to you for six weeks. When you’re done, return the books – the treats are yours to keep!
