SSLDL Teen Book Bag
First Thursday of Each Month
Each month teens will have the opportunity to register to receive an SSLDL Teen Book Bag! Teen Book Bag is a subscription style service that provides you with two new books for you to enjoy. A Teen Book Bag will contain two new library books (must be returned) selected by the youth and teen librarian, a bookmark, surprise swag, and a list of teen activities and services offered by the library (you can keep these!). Pickup for Teen Book Bags is on the first Thursday
of each month. Registration for Teen Book Bags will close a week prior to the pick-up date to give the library time to select books especially for you! The library will contact you when your bag is ready.
