Book Bundles
A Book bundle is a carefully curated stack of picture books about a particular topic. Patrons can stop in the Youth Services Department and grab a bundle to be checked out for 3 weeks. They even come in their own bag! It’s a quick and easy way to grab weekly picture books or to help deal with a particular topic. Currently we have 15 Book Bundles that range from Potty Training to Princesses.

Use the following links to reserve a Book Bundle.
