Gather around! I have new children's books!
Children in the United States can access books at a public library in their city or town. Many schools have libraries for children to check out books.
Children get their books in a number of ways, including being delivered in wooden suitcases and plastic bags by donkey cart; the books remain in a reading promoter's home.
QUANTITY
Libraries have thousands of books for children to choose from.
Each bag contains twenty books which families keep for a month; the books come in four different reading levels so that children can learn how to read.
