Whats-In-The-Boxes

What’s a Whats-In-The-Box kit?
 
It’s a summer library program in an envelope! What’s in the box varies by week. But they will always include a reading challenge, a writing activity, an outdoor activity, a craft, and a game or puzzle. Each time a new one is released, it’ll have you wondering, “What’s in the box this time?”
