Books highlighted this week are a few of the wonderful items that help you travel to and experience new people, places and things!

READ ALOUD: Over in Australia - Amazing Animals Down Under by Marianne Berkes. Check out  Hoopla, available on the library’s website, to enjoy a selection of great travel books online!
