Teen Sub Box

Do you ever stare at the shelves, not sure what you want to read, unable to choose from our many amazing titles?

Or maybe you’re like us, too quick to judge a book by its cover? (sshh… we won’t judge you if you don’t judge us!)

Or do you just want to step outside your comfort zone, and try something new?

Each month, we will supply a box containing 3 library books, a craft, a snack, and occasionally a little sumpin’ sumpin’.

This is a programme for 13-18 year olds.

Here are the monthly themes for 2026:

The Sub Box subscription will be ongoing but you can let us know by emailing hdlprogrammes@hdc.govt.nz should you wish to cancel at any stage.

If you don’t pick up your box for two consecutive months (and you don’t contact us about it), we will take that as a sign you don’t want them anymore, and remove you from the list.
