Not sure what to read next? Register each month to receive a new "cache" with this subscription-style program for teens.

Browser's Cache contains a library book to check out, read, and return, plus a snack, an activity, some swag, and a list of more book recommendations for you to keep. To give us time to make you a custom cache, the earliest they will be available for pickup is the Monday after registration closes.

Monday, January 13 - Sunday, January 19: Fill out the form to register! Indicate your preferences, and we'll hook you up with a cache curated just for you. When your cache is ready, you will receive a notification that your hold is available.

January's theme will be: No Longer Enemies (characters overcome their differences to become friends... and maybe more)

February's theme will be: Fake It Til You Make It (fake dating, reinventing yourself when you start at a new school, etc.)

We'll pick an anime to watch by consensus, so you're not stuck watching something you don't like - and if we don't get to your suggestion, we'll save it for next month.
