Children's Room Blog

We have a terrific advanced reader section in the children’s room, with books for grades 5 & 6 (and up).

The advanced reader section contains books purchased since the Fall of 2006 that are recommended for Grades 5 – 8 and Grades 6 – 9.  The advanced reader section was established to distinguish children’s books that may have subject matter that may be too sophisticated for younger juvenile readers.

New books are added to the Advanced Reader Section based upon the suggested ages in reviews published in sources such as The Horn Book Magazine, Booklist, School Library Journal, and Publisher’s Weekly.

Please ask a children’s librarian if you would like to learn how to access these reviews in the online catalog!  We’re happy to help!
