Give the gift of reading all year long!

Help support the Free Library and ensure that hundreds of thousands of children, teens, and adults have new and exciting books to read year-round. Each month, we will feature special lists of books that our librarians recommend, and the donation process couldn’t be easier! Simply buy a book from our Amazon wish list, and the book will be delivered to the Free Library! Scroll down for a look at this month’s lists—a round-up of titles from various best-of-2009 lists.

If you would like to make a cash donation to our book wish list fund, please click the Donate Now button. The Free Library receives significant discounts because we purchase large quantities from publishers.
