Langley Public Library has a new service for its patrons.  We have teamed up with Book Browse to offer you more resources in finding new reading material.

Book Browse seeks out and recommends books that we believe to be best in class.

Books that will whisk you to faraway places and times, that will expand your mind and challenge you – the kinds of books you just can’t wait to tell your friends about.  So check out the link and log in to locate new materials for your reading enjoyment.

Some of the books that are listed on our Book Browse page may not currently be available at the library.  Go to our catalog and do a search.  You will be able to search our in house catalog as well as our online catalog through OK Virtual Library.  If there is something that we do not currently have just let us know and we will try and get it for you.

Did you know that reading to your child is one of the most powerful ways to boost his or her brain power?  The simple and enjoyable act of sharing books helps your child learn pre-reading skills.

Langley Public Library is launching a new program to better serve our 5 and under crowd.  Sail On A Reading Adventure -1000 Books Before Kindergarten is a fun, exciting and free way to start your child on the path to success!  The program encourages you to rad 1000 books to your chold ore he/she enters school.  A goal expers say children need to help them learn to read for themselves.  Any child ages birth to five years can qualify for the program.  Please come by the Library and pick up program materials to start the program.
