Discover Our New Picture Book Categories

Big changes are happening in the Youth Services department! Our picture books have a new look and a brand-new way to browse. Instead of being organized only by the author’s last name, our picture books are now grouped into categories to help families find just the right book faster.

Whether your child loves dinosaurs, bedtime stories, or books about animals, these new bins make it simple to discover new favorites and old classics. Here’s a peek at what you’ll find:

Bedtime: Sweet stories to help little ones wind down and get ready for dreamland.

Concepts: Simple, engaging books that teach early ideas like colors, shapes, numbers, opposites, and the alphabet.

Dinosaurs: For kids who can’t get enough of things that go ROAR!

Favorite Characters: Some of the most familiar faces your kids know and love from popular TV, movies, and beloved book series.

Growing Up: Stories that celebrate the big (and small) moments in a child’s life like friendship, family, birthdays, school, feelings, and big changes.

Holidays: Celebrate holidays from around the world.

Imagine That!: Step into worlds of magic and make-believe with robots, mermaids, unicorns, superheroes, and more!
