For Parents of Tweens

 

Please take a moment to browse our new Tweens area...

Children of this age often have a difficult time finding books they want to read that are also at an appropriate reading

 level.   They have the advanced vocabulary to tackle longer books,  and want to read about subjects that are more mature. 

However, the material in Teen novels is not appropriate for children of this age.   This is the main reason we have created

our tween section.  To give the older children a bit of a buffer zone between the “kiddy” books and the teen novels. 

 

The library expansion project is finished, and all tween materials are now housed in an area of the children’s

 library just for them — with comfortable chairs for lounging, visiting, and reading.  The books in the tween area are mostly

 fiction, but we have two small sections of non-fiction and graphic novels & comic books.
