Come enjoy our favorite new picture books! And learn how you can participate in our early literacy campaign called 101 Picture Books Concord Free Public Library Loves! These storytimes will feature our favorite new picture books and promote early literacy skills to newborns, infants, toddlers and preschoolers.

Every year we choose 100 fantastic titles that we don’t want you to miss, and start reading them with the start of the school year. Look out for the Picture Books 101 list of titles and a coloring sheet featuring Henry and Weezie, our mascot owls. The titles are posted on our website and displayed in the Children’s Room at CFPL if you want to make a head start on your log, and remember we promise a prize to every young reader each time they read 25 titles and finish a coloring sheet. We love to read other favorites, and ask what books YOU like, as the 101th book on our list will always be YOUR choice!
