Highlights from the Collection
From our Digital Branch: OverDrive
Bring our library to your living room, and start downloading your favorite books today. Looking for a title? Search our catalogue and it will tell you if the book is available from OverDrive. Then all you have to do is follow the prompts.
Digital borrowing is easier than you think, and once you get started, you might just not stop. Happy reading.
The Geronimo Stilton series is a favorite of early elementary school students. Humorous, written in a similar format as "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" with fun illustrations, these chapter books are as plentiful as they are accessible and easy to read. If your first, second or third grader hasn't discovered these early readers, come into the library and take a look.
This title and other Geronimo Stilton books can be found in our catalog.
