The DC Public Library now provides a free book every month to children from birth to five years old. The "Books from Birth" program is free and is operated in conjunction with our STAR [4] (Sing, Talk, and Read) campaign, which encourages parents and caregivers to take an active role in their child’s educational development by singing, talking, and reading with them daily. If you are interested in receiving free books for your child, you can register here [5].
The DC Public Library and the D.C. Public Schools have teamed up to suggest books students might enjoy. The lists include a variety of books, suggested by grade level from pre-kindergarten to 6th grade, to satisfy every reading interest.
Find an award-winning book to read by visiting the links below. Please note that the library may not always have every title available. Award lists are updated annually.
