Teen Novel(ties) Book Box

Grand Forks Public is excited to introduce the Teen Novel(ties) Book Box. This bi-monthly themed box will allow teens to enjoy a book handpicked by a librarian, paired with an assortment of cozy, bookish trinkets (such as candy, stickers, bookmarks, pens, and more)!

 

Unboxing the Teen Novel(ties) Book Box is an experience designed to encourage a lifelong love of reading.


Who Can Sign Up

Teen Novel(ties) Book Box is available for anyone ages 12-18. The only requirement is that the recipient needs a Grand Forks Public library card number. (You can request one online.)

 

Because there are a limited number of supplies, boxes will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. If you are unable to participate in one month, we will maintain a waitlist for future months.

 

How to Sign Up

Whether you want to sign up yourself, your son or daughter, your niece or nephew, or your grandson or granddaughter—all you have to do is fill out this form. We will then notify you by email or mail if you are a recipient of the bi-monthly box.
