Non-Fiction for Children!
One of the unexpected advantages of incorporating books from the now closed satellite library at the Boys & Girls Club is the wonderful non-fiction titles that have moved over. We had shared two major Scholastic collections, “A Wicked History” and “You Wouldn’t Want to Be . . .” These are both historical sets that have been extremely popular.
Non-fiction books for children have changed dramatically in the last few decades. Many incorporate colorful illustrations and text that is not only very readable but fascinating as well – as in “hard to put down”
Come in and check out these two great series at the Gardiner Public Library!
