Looking for great books for kids? You've come to the right spot. We have book recommendations, printable book lists, tips for choosing books for readers of all kinds, and links to information on literacy milestones.
Staff at any of our libraries are happy use their expertise to help you find the perfect book for a child or teen.
If you prefer to explore on your own, have a look at some of the resources on this page.
Not every child or teen is drawn to reading. This section has information about the reading habits (yes, they often are reading something!) of relunctant readers along with tips and strategies for making reading a fun part of their lives.
One part of choosing the perfect book is having some idea of children's typical reading or literacy "milestones." Of course, every child is unique and you know the children you care for best. The information below is meant as a guide only.
For information about choosing books specifically to support early literacy skills, visit our Early Literacy Info Guide.

Is a child you care for an avid reader, devouring book after book and reading above their grade level? Keeping up and being able to suggest new titles can be a (welcome!) challenge.
Below we have gathered information to learn more about young avid readers. See the other sections of this page for resources to help find great titles. As always, don't hesitate to ask Library staff for help.
