LIBRARY BOXES FOR ALL!

When we first started offering Library Boxes in 2018, it was just for teens. The Steen family of Schaumburg remembers jumping on board right away, getting boxes for teens Lynda and Lea.

“When the Library announced the boxes, I thought, ‘That’s amazing!’” recalls mom Shannon Steen. “Someone hand-selects new titles for us and it comes in a surprise box!”

And it’s really that simple. You answer a few questions to help us get to know you and your reading tastes. Then our team chooses books we think you’ll love and packs them up for you – with a little surprise in your Library Box each time.

Our Library Boxes caught on quickly and we knew we had to expand. We added Library Boxes for kids and adults in 2021.

Dayna Schwartz, also of Schaumburg, has been getting Library Boxes for her kids, Harrison (4 years old) and Ethan (18 months old), for about a year.

“I love that the books are wrapped so the kids get to open them like a present,” Dayna said. “It just keeps enforcing the positive experience with books.”

“I hope this program is still around when my kids are older,” Dayna continued. “Sometimes older kids think it’s not ‘cool’ to read. Having someone choose personal recommendations just for you can keep kids reading that otherwise may have stopped.”

As for the Steen family, Lynda and Lea are now young adults, both living out of state.

“Even when life takes us in different directions, we make sure the boxes get picked up,” Shannon said. “We always love to see what’s been selected. It’s a great reminder that reading is always there!”

Ready to get started with your own Library Box of hand-picked books just for you? Get started by filling out an interest form at SchaumburgLibrary. org/library-boxes.
