The Teen Volunteer Group is a group of teens from Bartholomew County who meet monthly with the Teen Libarian to advise on matters of teen services, programming, selection of teen materials, event planning, and more. To join, just attend the next meeting (these are typically held the last Monday of the month).

Are you seeking a dose of love and self care?

Sign up for our Teen Book Boxes!

These monthly boxes mirror subscription services like OwlCrate or LootCrate, except our boxes are FREE!

Each month, you will receive a box filled with 2-3 library books selected based on your preferences along with other goodies like bookmarks, crafts, small self-care items, snacks, and handwritten notes from Teen Services staff.

CURRENT BOX: June 2025

THEME: Magic & Mushrooms

REGISTRATION OPEN through June 15, 2025 (OR WHILE SUPPLIES LAST*)

*We've had a huge uptick in registrations this month and are almost full. If you sign up and we've run out of supplies you will be notified and you will be automatically signed up for the July box.

You MUST register by 06/15/2025 to receive a June box. Your box will be available in June.

We are no longer accepting registration for the April box. If you registered for an April box, you will receive your box by the end of the month.

Your registration does not renew automatically. You MUST register for each month's box.

This program is only available for teens in grades 7-12.
