Finding Good Fit Books for Your Child

/in , /by

Do you need book ideas for your kids this summer? We’ve got you covered! With thousands of book options for kids, it can be challenging to find the right fit for your child, and the Youth Services Staff is here to help:

Book Lists at the Library

Youth Services maintains a “Great Reads” binder that is filled with book suggestions for popular topics like dinosaurs, princesses, humorous stories, and many more. Paper book lists are also available and offer book suggestions for toddlers, beginning readers, children reading above grade level, and many more topics and reading levels. Find both of these resources near the Youth Services Desk, or find them online.

Bibliocommons Lists

All of our book lists can be accessed directly through the MORE catalog. Neat! Find all of our lists here.

Youth Services Staff

The Youth Services team is passionate about finding good fit books for your child. Stop by the Youth Services desk whenever you need help connecting your child with great books.

Elephant and Piggie PARTY!

/in , /by

Calling all Elephant and Piggie fans for an Elephant and Piggie PARTY!!

FUN FACT: The last Elephant and Piggie book (The Thank You Book) was published more than seven years ago. Still, the 25 titles in this series are consistently among the most popular and loved books at the library.

Join us as we celebrate these favorite characters during our Elephant and Piggie Party on Friday, July 28, from 10-11:30 a.m. in the Riverview Room on the library’s third floor. We’ll enjoy storytime at 10 a.m., followed by self-paced games, crafts, and snacks. Get your cameras ready, as Elephant and Piggie will be making an appearance live and in-person!

Have you read all the books in the series? Find them here!

Have you read them all 10 times and need something different? Check out these playful and just-as-loveable Elephant and Piggie read-alikes.

While Elephant and Piggie and Pigeon may be his most popular characters, Mo Willems has other books that your child is sure to enjoy. Check them out!

Happy reading, and see you on the 28th!
