Books and Stories to Go

10 books per bag with a variety of themes! Also known as the Smart Start Bags.

Bring home a curated bag of books for reading time!

Available at Graham, May Memorial, Mebane, and North Park Libraries, Books and Stories to Go bags offer a fun and convenient way to enjoy story time. Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, daycare provider, or anyone who works with children, these bags save time by eliminating the need to search for multiple books—they’re quick, easy, and ready to check out!

Each themed bag includes 10 picture books on a specific topic but counts as one item to check out. With over 100 bags available, there’s a theme for every interest! Bags can be borrowed for three weeks and renewed.

These bags are available to any ACPL library cardholder in good standing and can be searched and requested through the Alamance County Public Libraries catalog. Each listing includes the bag’s theme and a list of titles inside.
