Books to Borrow, Buy or Find at a Book Spot for the Holidays!
The holidays are a time for reflecting on community, friendship and the challenges and joys that have shaped us over the past year. These twelve books explore many facets of the human experience, and all are beautifully written to explore those big ideas, with a variety of reading levels represented. These wonderful books are sure to be crowd pleasers for readers young and old this holiday season: visit your local library to check them out, look in a community Book Spot or purchase one at a local bookstore.

As the holiday season offers us time to reflect and spend time together, often through sharing the joys of reading, we ask you to support our work and build the libraries of children who might not have access to wonderful books like those above. Your support makes a real difference in the life of a child in Rhode Island.
