Read Alongs
Do you remember having a book that comes with a tape and when a tone sounds, you turned the page? Our new read alongs are similar but definitely the next gen! This collection has a wide variety of reading levels and has a built in read function (no more separate tapes/cds) as well as option for probing questions for readers to respond. Check out these books (if availble - they've had high circ) and when checking in this collection, please check to make sure charged.

The term is employed in a broad manner, encompassing non-fiction works and thematically linked short stories as well as fictional stories across a number of genres.--from Wikipedia Our libraries now have separate Graphic Novel and Junior Graphic Novel collections.
