Grab and Go Bags

Grab and Go at HPL.

If you're looking to change up your reading, watching and listening routine, try our Grab and Go service. Let HPL Staff pick items for you, based on the information you provide below on this form. Staff know the collections inside out. It's a great way to find a new favourite author, musician, film title and more.

We pick, you pick up.

Staff will fill your Grab and Go bag with up to 10 items. When it's ready, Staff will contact you to come and pick it up.

If you are looking for more specific Staff recommendations, try our Which Book Next service.
