The elves at the Fargo Public Library know what books kids want to see under the tree.
December 14, 2020
If you’re a parent comparing your to-do list for the holidays and the remaining dwindling days on the calendar with increasing panic, the Fargo Public Library Children’s Librarians are here to help.
For the first time, they’re offering personalized reading recommendations to moms, dads and other caregivers about the books your kids are most likely to love.
You can fill out an online form or give the library a call to tell them about your kids’ age, interests and other details, and they’ll come up with the best-bet books out there for your child to read.
The Fargo Public Library Children’s Librarians are offering “What’s Next? Kids’ Personalized Reading Recommendations,” a free service to help children decide what books to read as well as help them find resources for homework assignments. The service is available for children, parents/caregivers, grandparents and teachers.
To get started, fill out the “What’s Next?” online form at www.fargolibrary.org/whatsnext. Based on the preferences provided, the librarians will suggest and pick out books and materials and will either send a list or place the books on hold for pickup at any Fargo Public Library location. Those accessing the “What’s Next?” service will receive reading recommendations in about three to five days (one week for curriculum requests). This new reading recommendation service can also assist teachers, caregivers and homeschooling families by providing suggested collections of materials according to specific themes or lesson plan needs.
