Every day after school, kids come to the library looking for the next instalment in their favourite series – we call these kids “serial readers.”
At the New Westminster Public Library we provide a fun and diverse range of new series while making every effort to keep up with the perennial favourites.
The core titles we maintain include series such as The Hardy Boysand Nancy Drew, The Boxcar Children, Magic Treehouse, Geronimo Stilton, Captain Underpants and Choose Your Own Adventure,to name a few. But where do kids turn once they have finished a series? We hope our selection of new series will fill the void.
Mystery and espionage fans should look for Club CSI (ages eight to 12), which features young sleuths using scientific savvy to solve cases. The Resisters are young human transformers rebelling against mind-controlling aliens.
Traces, by Malcolm Rose, includes futuristic thrillers solved by a young forensic investigator.
Conspiracy 365 consists of one book for each month with fugitive Callum Ormond, who must unravel his family’s dark secrets if he is to survive.
The I Survived series is a huge hit – each one featuring a story of kids surviving disasters such as 9/11 and the Japanese tsunami of 2011.
For fans of fairies, witches and vampires, we’ve added the thriller series You’re Invited to a Creepover and The Sisters 8 (featuring their eight cats as well and some magical fun).
If you prefer drama without the darker side, we have added more of the middle school drama Just Graceand started collecting Cupcake Diaries by Coco Simon and the Dork Diariesby Rachel Russell.
The more literary might enjoy the new Lobster Chronicles while those who like the mythology theme can try Goddess Girls featuring middle-school drama goddesses!
These are only a few of the many series available at the library. Come and speak to a librarian about series for other types of interests.
