The library has a book section offering dyslexia-friendly books for young readers! These books feature dyslexia-friendly fonts and formats, short chapters, and/or characters with dyslexia.  Although it's a small section at the moment, we have plans to help it grow. You can find these books in the Children’s section.  Look for the Purple Star!

This is a new challenge to keep kids reading and learning, with the help of an old friend, Smokey Bear. Smokey is celebrating his 80th birthday this year. You can help celebrate by learning how to protect the environment and prevent wildfires. Kids will read books and earn badges to complete the challenge and receive a sticker. Reading logs are available at the library and this challenge runs through November 28th.
