Starting school can be nerve wracking for any age, but it’s especially hard for the littles. Hoopla has put together a wonderful collection to help your kiddos start school with courage and poise. Below are some of my favorites to read in storytime! So grab your library card, a reading device and cuddle up on the couch for wonderful read-aloud books!
Back to school with Confidence
Gabi – Robinson Library
The beginning of the school year is a whirlwind for everyone. Students have growing reading goals, parents have busy schedules, and teachers are always planning their next lesson. In other words: there’s a lot of hoopla surrounding a brand new school year, especially for young readers.
So, how do you contend with the hoopla? Hoopla!

Have you ever finished a book or series and wished that you could find something similar? NoveList is here to help.
The resource suggests title, author, and series read-alikes and will also tell you the rationale for the suggestion. These can range from similar writing styles, to themes, to settings.
With many titles including reviews from both Goodreads and professional sources, it’s easy to find your next great read. If you’d rather browse, you can check out the booklists that are available for all age groups in both fiction and non-fiction.
Don’t forget that NoveList links directly to the library’s catalog, so that you can easily request titles.
