Our favourite summer titles make the cut!
Summer is a time of fun and exploration. First library cards offer kids the ability to discover everything their library has to offer, learning independently about the subjects that inspire them. On hoopla kids can read, listen, and watch titles about what they love – while discovering new ones along the way.
