Celebrate our libraries with this adorable first words storybook!

Libraries are vibrant and vital centers of community where people go to connect to the world, technology, information, stories, and each other. They’re also often the most fun place to be when at school! This book encourages an early love for “going to the library” with delightful illustrations and a fun, rhyming story about one child’s first trip.

When Peter wants to know more about dinosaurs, his best friend, Lara, knows just where to go. With card in hand, they head for the library where they find just the right book. Then, it’s story time!!!

Each spread features one or more library vocabulary words such as alphabetical, author, barcode, catalog, database, scanner, nonfiction, and more—with their definitions on the last spread. Get kids excited about reading, researching, self-directed exploration, and more with Let's Go to the Library!
