What's New to Read @ Tongue River Branch Library

Reader's Advisory

I don't know what to read !! How often have you heard that from your child? Come in, or give us a call. We like to get kids and books together. Our book-loving staff will help your child get hooked on books. By the way, we enjoy helping adults rediscover old favorites from their childhood. When was the last time you opened the gate to the Secret Garden, or went on an adventure with the Hardy Boys?
