Only 10 boxes will be available. You will be placed on a waiting list if registration is full.


The box will be ready for pick up by the first of the month. You will receive an email notifying you that the box is ready for pick up.


If the box is not claimed by the seventh of the month, it will go to the next person on the waiting list.


Most everything in this box is yours to keep, we just ask that you return the two library books and box by the 25th of the month to any DPLS location.

BOOK OF THE MONTH


It's National Peach Month and what better way to celebrate than by reading The Peach Rebellion by Wendelin Van Draanen.


In 1936, Ginny Rose and Peggy were best friends. They spent their summer days picking peaches on Peggy's family farm. After 10 years apart, Ginny Rose's family moves back to town and their old friendship feels strained. How can Ginny Rose compete with Peggy's new friend - the wealthy banker's daughter.


However, they have more in common than they realize. Their families are in trouble. In order to heal their families, the girls must come together.

SQUEEZY McSQUEEZY

Hello there my dearest lemony friends,


I can't believe this! Pam left us on the teen workspace this entire month! Everyone else got to enjoy the fun of Totally 90's, Dragon Eggs, Harry Potter, Creepy Cryptids, and Death at the Masquerade. We decided to be mad, pout, and face the other direction.


I guess we all just have to envision the fun by looking at the pictures...


Love,


Squeezy


P.S. I almost forgot! Maria is the first teen to reach the goal and read 100 Books Before Graduation. Congratulations! If you are in high school and want to challenge yourself, click on the button and start your reading.
