Book of the Month is a fun and easy ways for adults to try new books! Fill out a reading profile form and get one book per month hand-picked for you by the book experts at the Coos Bay Public Library.
We also have Teen BookBox and Kids BookBox that include some other fun items (that you can keep!) in addition to your monthly hand-picked book.
How It Works
- Tell us what you like.
Fill out your reading profile and our reading specialists will pick out a book for you to try each month—based on your personal reading tastes!
- Get books hand-picked for you!
Book of the Month and BookBoxes are available to pick up the first Friday of each month (not including holidays). You will receive an email or mailed notice each month letting you know that your Book of the Month/BookBox is ready to pick up at the library (if you receive email notices, check your junk folder!).
- Read.
You will get to keep your book for three weeks with up to two renewals (if there are no holds), just like other books you check out.
- Repeat!
Complete the enclosed feedback form and return it with the book to help us improve our picks for next time. You can ask to revise your reading profile anytime to help us choose the right books for you.
To get started, complete one of the online Book of the Month/BookBox forms above or ask for a reading profile at the library.
