See a book you would like to borrow from these book lists? Click on the title to go to the library's catalog. From there, you may place books on hold. If you would like to suggest an idea for a book list, send an email to LibEarlyLiteracy@fairfaxcounty.gov.

Reading Tip:

Make book-sharing time a special time because children who enjoy books will want to learn how to read, and don’t forget to visit your neighborhood library branch for books. (Did you know you can borrow up to 50 books?)
