It is probably pretty obvious what my gift suggestion for kids is, I am a librarian and this is a library blog, but I will say it anyway--books. Now I know some of you are probably thinking this would be a boring gift for a kid, but I hope most of us have fond memories of childhood books. I still have a book of poetry, that I was given when I was very young, that I love to look at. My husband has books that were given to him by his grandparents where they wrote a note on the inside front covers, a nice keepsake. And to make it easy for you to choose, our children's room staff has compiled a lovely list of their book picks for various age groups, and made it available in the library and on our website. If nothing on our list catches your fancy you can look at the NY Times Children's Bestsellers list for what is currently popular. Happy holidays!

Hi Denise,
ReplyDeleteI'd like to share a favorite book of mine, which is for adults as well as children. It makes a great gift now, or any time during the year, because it encourages quality family time together. The title is "Together: Creating Family Traditions" by Rondi Hillstrom Davis and Janell Sewall Oakes.
It was given to me as a gift and the photography and writing touches my heart each time I use it with my children. It is full of crafts, activities and kid-friendly recipes for all generations to take part in.
I hope you like it and get as much out of it as my family and I have over the past few years. What more can we give our children than the love of reading and fun memories with family and friends?
Happy Holidays,
Linda
