November Lit Loot:
“Donut” Stop Reading
Available starting November 3
November 5 is National Donut Day! Celebrate with November’s Lit Loot.
How it works: You’ll receive a library book personally selected
based on your interests and a bag of goodies that go with the theme!
This program is for teens only (ages 12-18). One bag/book per month.
You will need to re-register each month that you’d like to receive a lit loot.
After you are notified your Lit Loot is ready, you have 2 weeks to pick it up
