Introducing Book Bundles for Kids

Post Published: November 5, 2020

Pre-Bundled Picture Books or Early Readers

By popular request we now offer Book Bundles for Kids in English and Spanish.

Three prescholers reading a picture book

Pick up 10 pre-bundled picture books in English, 10 early reader books in English, or five Spanish-language books (four picture books and one early reader) during holds pickup hours at Central Library.

Book Bundles are designed to give parents and young kids a taste of the Library's collection when browsing is not available.

What Is In a Book Bundle for Kids?

  • Each English-language Book Bundle contains 10 picture books, or 10 early reader books.
  • Each Spanish-language Book Bundle contains four picture books and one early reader book.
  • Book Bundles ARE designed to recreate the joy of discovering something new and wonderful while browsing the Library shelves.
  • Books Bundles ARE NOT designed to match a specific interest or theme.

  • Ask for a Book Bundle at the Holds Pickup window.
  • Limit: One Book Bundle (or any kind) per library card.
  • Each book in the Bundle is checked out for 21 days, and can be renewed like a regular book.

    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!
