Visit our kid's web page and take a peak at "Books and More for Kids".  We have some terrific read-alike recommendations along with a mother-lode of great reading lists. Click on the image above and you'll zip right in.

If, like me, you weep at the thought of figuring out where a title is in the Redwall or Little House series, you'll for sure want to bookmark the miraculous "Juvenile Series and Sequels" page produced by the Mid-Continent Public Library.

I also really love Good Reads for both kid's books and adult reading ideas. Easily overlooked but also a terrific resource is our database Novelist K-8.  Spend some time wandering through these resources and I'm sure you'll discover some reading gems.

NoveList K-8

Few of our library families and local educators are aware that with your Marin County Free Library card, you have access to a great database called NoveList K-8. This database helps kids, parents, and teachers in kindergarten through grade 8, to identify books appropriate for kids' reading abilities and interests. It also includes teacher resources.

If your school district uses the Lexile reading system, this is where you can find a list of titles within your child's Lexile range. But don't stop there, there are lots of recommended reading lists by age, grade, genre, read-alikes and more.  Who can access remotely? Cardholders with any public library in Marin.

Barnes and Noble's kid's page also offers Lexile recommendations. Click on the the "Books by Reading Level" box.
