Peek-a-Box is a new program presented to you by the Iowa Library for the Blind and Print Disabled. Peek-a-Box will offer patrons, ages 18 years and older, a program to receive a monthly box of books and goodies just for them. Each month patrons in the program will receive a special box filled with books – audio or braille or large print – and goodies centered around a theme.
Patrons who opt for audiobooks will receive a cartridge with 10-20 books dedicated to the theme of the month. Patrons who choose to get braille or large print will receive 1-3 books. Braille and large print books will be mailed separately, apart from the Peek-a-Box. Patrons should return the cartridges and books when finished with them and keep the goodies for themselves. Books to borrow and goodies to keep!
New for 2024
Embark on a reading road trip with us as we travel along Interstate 80 from the west coast to the east coast. Each month will feature a different state in which I-80 passes through. The books included for that month will highlight authors from that state, books set in that state, books about that state and more! Participants will receive a tactile map of the United States with I-80 featured, a refrigerator magnet from each state and snacks special to that state. Come along with us as we discover new and exciting books along the I-80 corridor!
