To participate in this subscription service, you must be between the ages of 13-25 and have a DPLS library card. There will be library books in the box that will need to be checked out to your library card.

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.

This is a three month subscription. After the subscription period is over, you will need to sign up again to receive more boxes. 



Any questions, contact Pam at prellstab@defiancelibrary.org.

Hello my dearest lemony friends,

How could we ever thank the Friends of the Defiance Public Library! Because of their contribution to Teen Programming, we were able to host a Friendsgiving complete with pizza, cookies, and drinks.

We had such an amazing time; hanging with our friends, eating delicious food, and reading "Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving" by Dav Pilkey. We can't wait until next year!

In the meantime, we do have some awesome events planned this month, including Teen Tuesdays, wish jars, and no-bake holiday treats.

And as this year comes to a close, let us spend this month reflecting on all the good times that we had.

Have a wonderful holiday season!

Love,

Squeezy
