About our collections.
Picture books
(ages 0-5)
Our collection of picture books range from classics like Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are to a large selection of Mo Willem's books and everything in between. Picture books are designed for a parent or adult to read to the child and the illustrations are a fun addition. Most of our picture books are for the age 0-5 category, though there are some picture books (often non-fiction or lavishly illustrated) that older readers can also enjoy.
Chapter books
(ages 6-7)
Our chapter books include many different series for new readers, like Ivy & Bean by Annie Barrows and the Magic Tree House by Mary Pope Osborne. Chapter books are somewhere between picture books and middle grade books. While they may contain pictures here and there, the books are designed for children who are just beginning to read for themselves. We even have a selection of shorter books for very early readers, just to get them started.
Middle-grade books
(ages 8-11)
Our middle grade collection include classics like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl as well as modern favorites like the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. These books are for kids who are better readers. At this age, kids try to start reading up, so the age of the protagonists can vary.
Young adult books
(ages 12-18)
Young adult books tend to have a bit more mature story lines, but they can actually be for readers 12 and up. Our young adult collection includes a selection of classics, as well popular fiction.
