The Cambridge Library has teamed up with Isanti County Family Services and generous library folks to give kids and teens new Christmas books through the Gift of Reading tree.
A bookmark is available in the library with suggestions for teen reads. If you want to give the teens in your life a new book, check out these book list suggestions -- thanks to Chisago Lakes Branch Manager Angela Smith and Community Services Coordinator Vickie Sorn.

I love the fact that books can be purchased for little ones, too! I had great fun shopping for a three-year-old girl...a book about rainbows that had real ribbons in it and a Christmas book with a tree that had lights to count. I hope others will be willing to buy a book for a child.
