Road Trips

Are you taking a vacation this summer? Are you going to be riding in a car for hours with nothing to do? Are you tired of hearing the phrase, "Are we there yet?"

Look no further! The library is the pit stop you need to make before you go on your vacation! We have plenty of things to do in the car.

1. "Seeking for Things" Books

This is a category that encompasses different kinds of books including...

-I Spy books,

-Look and Find books

-Where's Waldo

-Magic Eye books

We have multitudes of different titles in each of these categories. A favorite is Let's Find Momo, where a photographer and his border collie trek across the continent of North America and take wonderful pictures so you can spot him.

Let's Find Momo!

I Spy, Year-round Challenger!

Listed here are only two examples, but we also have plenty where that came from! 

2. Activity Books

These are great examples of things kids can do in the car. Don't forget to make copies at the library before you leave for your trip! There are plenty of ideas in these!

I Don't Care If We're There Yet

The Kids' Summer Handbook

3. Audiobooks

We also have plenty of childrens' audiobooks if your car has a CD player! Our collection includes classics and newer items!

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

A Wrinkle in Time

Diary of A Wimpy Kid

4. Books That Teach About Maps

Are We There Yet, Daddy?

This one is a great start for teaching kids about maps. Some kids love to play navigator and reading a map is a great skill to learn even with our modern GPS technology. You never know when you will need that skill!

What A Map Can Do

A raccoon teaches the basics of reading a variety of different kinds of maps, from road maps to weather maps and beyond.

And of course we have more books about road trips and summer vacations as well.

Enjoy your trips and vacations!
