BOOK BUNDLES AVAILABLE IN THE CHILDREN’S DEPARTMENT
Book Bundles are perfect for quick trips into the library when you’ve got no time to browse. A Book Bundle is a collection of four or five books of the same subject that are ready to be checked out. Some bundles include collections from popular authors, like Jonathan London’s Froggy books, Fancy Nancy’s adventures, and the Pinky and Rex chapter book series. Others focus on subjects like spring, dinosaurs, and manners. Look for the Book Bundles display in the children’s department near the DVD section.
