Will Banana, Orange, and Co allow Tomato to join them in the "Fruit Bowl"? 

"Is That You, Eleanor Sue?" or is it . . . a bearded wizard, a purring cat, or a cranky neighbor? 

​Why is Noah Webster so upset ("The Great Dictionary Caper")?

There's only one way to find the answer to these and many other burning questions - go check out the new book display in the picture book room!
Picture
Brave girls stand up to injustice in "Amal Unbound," "Betty Before X.," and "Mad Wolf's Daughter."  "Lightning Girl" navigates the complexities of middle school while living with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and "Little Charlie" faces a moral dilemma when he comes face-to-face with a plantation owner's fugitives. 

​Our latest additions to the chapter book collection will transport you to Scotland, Pakistan, 1940's era Detroit - and everywhere (and every time) in between!
