Monthly Mystery Bags

Wondering what to read next? Check out our monthly mystery bags for adults! Mystery bags have a new theme every month and contain a surprise selection of 4-5 library books and an adult craft. Return the books to the library when you're done with them - keep the other goodies!

The February 2023 theme is "Isn't it Romantic?", and includes a selection of novels about love and romance.

The craft is a fabric Valentine wreath.

Registration for the February mystery bag opens January 23rd. Call the library at 641-792-4108 or direct message us on Facebook to reserve your mystery bag. Ages 18+
