During the summer, there is no story

incentives vary from year to year.
Children's collection includes
picture books that include fiction and non-fiction, foreign language, ethnic
tales, alphabet and counting books, board books, holiday and special interest
books. This area has been set up to be very child friendly and easy to use. We
have a large collection of Easy Readers for those beginning to read and books up
to 5th

Busy Bags are thematically linked
book/toy kits that make reading more fun for children. The collection has grown
to include items of interest to children ages pre-school through primary grades.
