Bookworm Bundle

Bundle up!

We are so excited to introduce Bookworm Bundle, a personalized book recommendation service for teens at the Ipswich Public Library.

Signing up is easy: just fill out the questionnaire below with your reading preferences. Then wait a few days or so. YA Librarian Viktoria will select a book for you and box it up with some fun extra goodies. You will get an email when your box is ready to be picked up in the Teen Nook.

When you are done, you must return both the book AND the box, but the extra goodies are yours to keep! If you like the service, please feel free to keep signing up. You may only have one box out at a time, but as soon as you return one, you can fill out the questionnaire again!

Your library card must be in good standing to check out a Bookworm Bundle, with no fines exceeding $20.
There are a limited number of available Bookworm Bundles. When you sign up you will be given the first available box, but if there are none available, you may be placed on a waitlist. Priority for new boxes will be given to those who sign up first or who have never received a box before.
The selected book will be checked out on your library card and you will have two weeks to pick up your box from the Teen Nook. If you cannot pick up your box in the time frame but you still want it, please contact YA Librarian Viktoria to work something out. If you do not pick up your box and don’t contact me, you will forfeit that box and you’ll have to sign up again if you want a new one.
Even if your book loan renews, you must return the cardboard box to the Teen Nook by the date indicated in the box.
Bookworm Bundles may contain candy, snacks, or scented products. If you have any allergies or aversions please note them in your questionnaire so I know what not to put in your box.
