Children who are not yet reading may listen as others read to them and may also listen to audiobooks. Older children and teens may read any books, ebooks, magazines, graphic novels, and newspapers. They may also listen to others read to them or audiobooks. We have a variety of genres and a variety of formats to assist everyone with finding reading materials they will enjoy.

Youth may also choose to explore a variety of reading and library-related activities through an additional activity log and earn prizes for completing activities in this log. Activity logs will be available beginning in July. Prizes will be awarded for activity logs through September 3.
