Programming Boxes & Book Club Kits
Programming Boxes for Children and Teens
The collection of programming boxes for children includes over 60 boxes encompassing more than 40 different themes, serving the interests of children from ages one to eight.
A small selection of teen programming boxes has recently been created for libraries to supplement their teen programming.
Programming boxes are intended to assist public libraries in planning and delivering library programs. The boxes are booked on a first-come, first-served basis. Patrons may not request programming boxes.

Book Club Kits
Parkland assists local libraries in creating a yearly rotating book club kit group. Libraries sign up to buy copies of one book in the fall to make a kit. These books are then rotated on an monthly basis to all of the libraries involved in the group. At the end of the year the kits are broken up and each library receives the same number of books back from the different titles rotating in the club.
The 2011-2012 book club group is set. If you have any questions please contact Karyn at kgoodwillie@prl.ab.ca
