Give the Gift of A Good Book

This holiday season give the gift that truly keeps on giving- a favorite book that can be read and enjoyed over and over again!

Does your little one have a favorite book that they want to check out every time they come to the library and are sad to have to bring it back? Maybe that's a clue for a gift that they will cherish. Toys can be nice, but a new copy of a favorite book so they can enjoy the adventures of reading and get absorbed in an exciting or comforting story whenever they choose can be a meaningful gift.

Think of what your loved ones love to read this holiday season for inspiration for a sensational gift. If you need a couple ideas for books that make great gifts for kids, check these lists of popular picture books and junior fiction, or ask a librarian! You can always stop in to chat with a librarian for more tailored suggestions, but to get you started here is a quick list of some recent fun and popular books!
