What are the mystery gifts?

NO SPOILERS! That said, the more you tell us, the more personalized we can make your mystery gifts! Think about your favorite snacks, fandoms, things you like to collect, etc. If you think it will fit in your subscription, it won't hurt to tell us in your survey.

What is the #LitLibLoot Sign Up Survey?

The #LitLibLoot Sign Up Survey is a bunch of questions that lets our librarians know a lot of things, including which branch you would like to pick up your subscription! It also tells them what you're into, both in general and as a reader. That way they can pick out books that will fit your reading tastes and hopefully be interesting for you. It also helps them pick out your mystery gifts. Basically, the more information you provide in the survey, the better the librarians can create a subscription that is uniquely yours.

How do I sign up for #LitLibLoot?
