COVID-19 Library Update
|
Don’t want to scour the online catalog for specific books? Call the library at 703-248-5031 (TTY 711) and request a random assortment of materials.
Our most popular Quick Pick options are Picture Books and Easy Readers.
Unfortunately, we are unable to take requests for ‘types’ of books in our Quick Pick selections, so if you prefer specific books or subjects we recommend you search for them in our online catalog and place them on reserve or request suggestions via our Personalized NextRead suggestions.
Staff will pull up to 20 picture books for our curbside pick up. Titles are randomly selected.
For children just starting to read independently, staff will pull a random assortment of 10 easy readers for our curbside pickup. If you have a reader in-between levels, you can select 5 from two categories.
Easy Reader Levels
GREEN – Just starting out on their own. Basic vocabulary, short sentences, simple stories, and lots of pictures that have a direct connection to the words on the page.
YELLOW – Have been reading on their own for a little while, but still need help. Increased vocabulary, longer sentences, and longer stories with pictures that give visual clues.
ORANGE – Almost ready for short chapter books. Longer, more complex stories and sentences. Fewer pictures, not every action is illustrated. Often short chapters.
If you call ahead of time, we can often accommodate a variety of Quick Picks categories from adult fiction or mystery, to DVDs, or kids chapter books. You never know what you'll get!
If you're looking for specific types of books, or want verified staff recommendations, try our Personalized NextRead suggestions.
