Grab Bags
Are you missing the experience of browsing library shelves? Try a Grab Bag!
Grab Bags are offered during Curbside Service at all of our locations and feature a stack of 3-5 items picked by library staff from some of our most popular collections.
Our featured Grab Bags categories rotate, but typically include:
- For kids: Board books, picture books, beginning to read books, and the latest fiction
- For adults: Recent fiction, paperback mysteries & romances, film favorites on DVD, and seasonal non-fiction selections
How to Get a Grab Bag
When making a Curbside Pickup appointment choose up to TWO Grab Bag categories per day and we will add these items to your pick-up bag. Book your Curbside Pickup appointment here.
No appointment? No problem! Bring your library card to the Downtown Library on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 1pm - 2pm, and we'll be happy to create a Grab Bag for you while you wait.
