Children and families can visit the new B is for Books bookstore to read books together onsite and pick three books to take home and keep.

This bookstore will also serve as a resource for early childhood educators.  Educators can meet with a librarian to choose and request books for their classroom. The service currently offers a variety of new and gently used books for children from birth to second grade.

B is for Books is located at 222 East 8th Avenue, Homestead, PA 15120.
