Fun Summer Reads for Kids

Fun summer reads for kids

Summer brings young people plenty of opportunity for fun and play, and also a chance to read for pure enjoyment about whatever excites their curiosity. If you are planning to travel or enjoy our beautiful beaches, ditch the worries of protecting library books from sand, stains, or loss by purchasing your kids’ summer reads for just $1 each. Reading throughout the summer months will prevent the summer slide and bring your kids hours of unplugged entertainment. So stop by our Special Sale area just inside the Friends’ Book Shop throughout the month of June to find books for kids of all ages, from babies through teens, and stock up to keep them reading all summer long!    


Ongoing Book Sale


The Friends conduct ongoing sales of books, movies, puzzles and more in the Friends’ Book Shop. Located in the corridor between the Main Desk and the Children’s Room, the Friends’ Book Shop honors longtime volunteer Jean Christensen. Here you will find very reasonably-priced adult fiction, non-fiction, and AV materials, along with fiction for teens and tweens. Another bookcase just around the corner houses books for tween and teen readers, and children’s books are offered for sale in a low bookcase at the entrance to the Children’s Room. Sales of special themes or formats are held periodically, so visit frequently to see what’s new!
