Tenikka's Books for Kids

Donate to Tenikka's Books for Kids Annual Book Drive March 17-29

Tenikka's Books for Kids Now Through March 29

Tenikka’s Books for Kids collects new and very gently used books for local children from birth to 18 years old. This includes everything from picture books for babies, books for new readers, and chapter books for teens. All the books collected during Tenikka’s Books for Kids book drive are given to kids who participate in Jacksonville Public Library’s Summer Reading Program at no cost to the children or their families.

Celebrate Reading Week

Celebrate Reading Week

You know the power of a good book. And if you're a parent, you know that it's important for your kids to see you reading for enjoyment. But as adults, we're all reading role models! The more we use the Library, talk about books, and attend awesome author events and book signings, the more literate (and well-read) Jacksonville becomes. That's why we hope you'll celebrate reading with your community starting March 27 through April 1!
