Adult Book Box

Our Adult Book Boxes offer a contemporary way to engage with your library and reading. Each box is an individualized reading experience containing one or two library books already checkedout to you based on your preferences, some fun extras or library swag, and an occasional Advance Reader Copy of a book to keep! Book boxes are curated every other month for subscribers, in February, April, June, August, October, and December.

Return your completed profile to the Adult Reference Desk at any Aurora Public Library District location and we will contact you when your subscription is ready. The more information you provide us, the better we can pick a book that you might enjoy! Starred questions are required.
