    This is fantastic. Exactly the sort of thing we were looking for. Will definitely take advantage!

    The book bundle concept is great. Do I understand correctly that I can go to the library to pick up a bundle without first making a reservation?

      David, that is correct. All you have to do is ask for a Book Bundle at the Holds Pickup window.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! We used to browse and check out dozens of picture books at a time, and we’ve really missed being able to indulge in a good pile of curated picture books. This is just what we needed!
