Did you know that listening to books read aloud has serious benefits for kids? Listening to books helps young readers improve their pronunciation and fluency, improves focus and memory, increases attention span, builds comprehension skills, and can even boost mental health by relieving stress and calming thoughts.

Join us every Monday as we post the next chapter or two in our selected beginner's chapter book for kids (geared toward interest ages 5-9)! And share your predictions of what will happen next on the library's Facebook and Instagram. For past chapters and book excerpts for tweens, teens, and adults, check out our library YouTube channel.
