Are you looking for a new read, but don’t know what to choose next? Try a library grab bag!
If you don’t have specific books or movies in mind, grab bags are for you. Grab bags consist of a random assortment of titles chosen by staff from our collection based on your selections in the form below. After you fill out the form, you will receive an email when your grab bag books are ready for pickup.
To provide a seamless checkout experience during all hours, the Lancaster Public Library now provides you with the opportunity to pick up your grab bag outside the front entrance of our library in Ewell Plaza. Simply choose Lancaster City Branch – Lockers under pick up location, and your materials will be automatically checked out to your account the day it becomes available. Once your grab bag is available, you will receive an email with pick up instructions.
Please note: This service is not available at our Mountville Branch.
➡️ If you are an educator or teacher looking for materials for classroom assignments, please use our Teacher Book Bundles form.
