Community Book Nooks are supplied with FREE books available from birth - 12 years old to support reading in everyday places. Children can browse from a variety of titles the Early Learning Coalition of Manatee County has supplied to our Book Nook sites and choose one to take home. Book Nooks are strategically placed at local business and community locations to serve children and their families.

Look for a book to enjoy with your child when already visiting one of the locations listed below:
We encourage all families to carry books everywhere. They are great to use when waiting for appointments, waiting for a meal, or to spark conversation on a long car ride. Children who are not yet readers can still gain valuable literacy skills by turning the pages and enjoying illustrations. |
Giveaway Libraries are located at 17 elementary schools in Manatee County with the partnership of Soar in 4 and the School District of Manatee County.
