If you’ve always wanted to sign up for a book subscription box but didn’t like the commitment or cost, you’re in luck. The Arlington Heights Memorial Library is excited to launch LitCrate, a library book box for adults, teens, and now also tweens! 

It's easy! Let us know your reading preferences and we’ll put together a LitCrate containing a book recommended just for you with some extra special surprises. The goodies are yours to keep, but don’t forget to return the book!
