Grand Canyon Reader Award

The Grand Canyon Reader Award is given yearly to books in specific categories. Stop by the library to start reading today! All titles are located on a display next to the Junior Fiction section in the Youth Department. Grab a BINGO board to keep track of which ones you've read. Read five titles to make a BINGO then bring your board back to the library and earn a sticker! Check back in March for information about voting. Voting is open to children of all ages.

Non-Fiction Book Bundles

Book Bundles are located on the shelving to the right of the castle.

Non-Fiction Book Bundles are a great way to get your family interested in a new topic! Each bundle has 4 or 5 preselected books and is labeled according to the topic. Take the entire bundle to the service desk to be checked out. Do you have a suggestion for a non-fiction topic? Be sure to leave your suggestions with a youth department librarian.

Check This Out!

Play I Spy you should.

Have you been in to play I Spy With My Jedi Eye? Nine Star Wars images are hidden in the Youth Department. Find them all to decode Yoda's message to you!
