Discover new stories and characters that will capture your heart and imagination. Happy National Senior Citizen's Day!

Jacksonville Public Library has an AMAZING collection of books featuring stories and information written by and about people from varied backgrounds, races, ethnicities, life experiences, and viewpoints. Throughout the month, the Library will highlight books in our collection by and about people who are National Citizens in our community including here on our blog, through book displays in your local library, and via reading challenges for all ages on Beanstack.
