While spring has only just begun, Director Cathy Boggs and I are already looking ahead at Cole Library’s summer reading program. Alongside planning weekly activities like Wednesday Workshops, a key element in our preparations is ordering new books that will excite young readers during their school break. Graphic novels are some of the most popular books in our juvenile collection, so we’ve proactively added new books to this collection. Here are some of recent additions to include on your summer (or current) reading list:
Long Distance by Whitney Gardner
No One Returns From the Enchanted Forest by Robin Robinson
The Okay Witch by Emma Steinkellner
The Deep and Dark Blue by Niki Smith
Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson
The Leak by Kate Reed Petty
Swim Team by Johnnie Christmas
Scout is Not a Band Kid by Jade Armstrong
Along with these new titles, we’ve also purchased the latest volumes in popular series such as “The Babysitter’s Club”, “Katie the Catsitter”, and “Wings of Fire”. You can find these graphic novels, and many more, in JUV Nonfiction collection in the Children’s Room.
