Accessing Titles

All titles in the Family Reading List are available either through libraries or booksellers. By using your local library to obtain these titles, you will be able to preview the book or video, evaluate its usefulness for your family, and determine whether you’d like to purchase it.

Your librarian can get many of these titles for you, even if your local library does not carry them. A-free-of-charge, statewide inter-library loan system (available in most states) is used to obtain books and videos, and generally you need only to fill out a request form for the materials you desire.
