Little Pages & Play Box

Current subscribers: visit the drive-up window beginning on this day to pick your activity box and books for this month. The books have already been checked out to your library card.

The Little Pages & Play Box is designed especially for the developmental needs of children ages 0-2.

Each month, subscribers to the Little Pages & Play Box will receive a box containing:
     ✨ supplies and instructions for a crafty play experience 
     📚 2-3 children’s library books already checked out to your card 

The library books are yours to borrow for up to 6 weeks — twice as long as a normal checkout. And the activity materials are yours to keep forever.

Here’s the best part: It’s all free! All you need is a Vernon Area Public Library card.


New subscribers...

... then watch for an email letting you know when your subscription request is confirmed!

Event Details:

Your October box includes supplies for a craft called "Monster Mashup" and 2 board books checked out to your VAPLD card.
