Don't know what to read next? Let your library do the work!

Each month, our staff will handpick a book just for you based on your personal reading tastes, whether you love thrilling mysteries, heartwarming romances, inspiring nonfiction, or anything in between.

Simply fill out a short form telling us what you like (and what you don't), and we'll select a title from our collection that we think you'll love. We'll place it on hold for you and include a small piece of bookish merch as a thank-you for participating. For adults 18+.

How it works:

Step 1: Sign Up & Share Your Preferences

Step 2: We Pick a Book Just for You

  • Based on your preferences, we'll select a book from our collection
  • You'll also receive a small bookish gift with your pick

Step 3: Watch for Your Pickup Email

  • We'll send you an email notification when your surprise book is ready for checkout

Step 4: Enjoy Your Read!

  • When you're done reading, return your book like normal
  • The bookish gift is yours to keep!
