County Kids Read Book Lists

County Kids Read makes an effort to provide a vibrant and relevant selection of books for the children and families in our community. We have many sections and genres represented on our shelves, and have taken the liberty of curating book lists on three especially important topics: Children’s Mental Health and Wellness, Indigenous Culture, and Diversity & Inclusion. Please click on a title to access the list.

Children’s mental health and wellness

Exploring Indigenous Culture 

diversity and inclusion 

“We have really been enjoying the wide range of books from County Kids reads that promote inclusion, diversity, and equity. Books about different kinds of families and how each one is unique can be tough to find and we really appreciate you including them in your collection.”
