Movies are here, but the books are waiting! πŸ“š

Three fan favorites are at the big screen. Experience the full story before you see the film by grabbing these titles from our shelves:

β€’ Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir β€’ Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover β€’ Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt

Are the books better than the movies?

πŸŽ„πŸ“š Our Children's Room Christmas Tree is Here! πŸ“šπŸŽ„

This year, our little Christmas tree is wrapped in something extra specialβ€”the gift of reading!

Underneath our festive tree, you'll find books waiting for young readers. Some are wrapped with age suggestions written on them (add a little mystery!), and some are ready to browse.

Here's the best part: every child can choose TWO booksβ€”one to keep for themselves AND one to give to someone special. Because the joy of reading is meant to be shared! πŸ’
