YAS Box: Hunger Games

What is a YAS Box?

YAS Box is our version of those expensive trendy subscription boxes made just for teens. Each individually curated box contains a paperback book to keep, snacks, and some extra surprises like crafts and gifts.

Who can subscribe?
All teens and young adults, ages 12-20, are welcome to sign up for a YAS Box. Please note that we have a limited amount of boxes available. If we run out of boxes we will put you on our waitlist and contact you if and when a new box is available. 

When can I get a box?
Boxes are prepared every two months and are ready to be picked up on the first Wednesday of the month. We'll send you a reminder so you know when to come to the library to pick it up. You'll have 7 days to pick up the box once we remind you. After five days we will contact the next person on our waitlist. 

YAS boxes are not an ongoing subscription. You will need to sign up again to be added to the list for next box.

What do I get to keep?
We ask that you return the box itself to the library. You can keep the book, snacks, and other goodies that are included!
