Bring your young readers and listeners to Books of Wonder and join us for our ever-popular Storytime.
Each week, we choose several books from our shelves (based on the children attending) and sit down with children and their parents for a good, old-fashion, storytime. It's a fun filled time for all; please join us!
A knowledgeable resource in the children's book field, our staff began storytime at Books of Wonder several years ago and has been directing it ever since.

Fantastic Middle Grade Reads
Butterfly-guarding princesses with magical gifts, a witch on a quest to save Camelot, and wonderfully creepy PNW thrills - this event has it all! Our Fantastic Middle Grade Reads is showcasing three new and upcoming middle grade novels, Solimar: The Sword of the Monarchs, by beloved Newbery Honor author PAM MUÑOZ RYAN, The Witch, The Sword, and the Cursed Knight, a debut from ALEXANDRIA ROGERS (with pre-order extras!), and The Keeper, by GUADALUOPE GARCIA McCALL.
This is a not-to-be-missed event! PAM MUÑOZ RYAN and GUADALUPE GARCIA McCALL are both much-beloved winners of the Pura Belpre Award, and The Witch, The Sword, and the Cursed Knight is an incredible debut novel that a Kirkus starred review declared "up there with the best of them" in the fantasy tradition.
