Grab & Go Bags
GPL would like to be your personal shopper! As you cannot come into the branch to see us and browse our shelves, we would like to do the browsing for you. We will put together a selection of books, based on a few of your preferences, into a Grab & Go bag ready for curbside pickup. If you’re unsure which is best for you, please call any of our branches. Bags for adults will have 5 items and bags for kids/tweens/teens will have 5-10 items (depending upon availability).
Not sure what to ask for? We can help! Or ask for a Surprise Me Bag!
How does Grab & Go work?
You can get a Grab & Go Bag in two different ways:
Request one using our online forms.

Or call any of our branches, and speak with a staff member.
Just tell us:
- What format you’re looking for

We will handle the rest. Remember, the more information you give us, the more closely your bag can be tailored to you.
How many bags can I have at one time?
Bags are limited to one per patron unless you are selecting an adult and and juvenile bag.
How will I know my Grab & Go Bag is ready?
Requests will be filled between 24-72 hours upon receipt of request. When your bag is ready, you'll receive notifications like you would for a hold.
How many days do I have to pick up my items?
You will have three curbside days to pick up your bag.
Where do I return the Grab & Go Bag?
You can return them to book drops at any GPL location. If the bag doesn’t fit, you can place the books in the slot separately.
