I reserve specific books online and let the kids pick random books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-for-specific-books-at-the-library#post-2382994 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 13:20:16 +0000 mrbee 2382994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually look up our favorite authors, and see if there any books by them that we've missed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-for-specific-books-at-the-library#post-2382978 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 13:11:25 +0000 yin 2382978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always look at the new arrival books up front and walk around looking for familiar authors or pretty covers. Sometimes I have a list ready with recommendations from bloggers, but most of them are not available at my library without reserving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-for-specific-books-at-the-library#post-2382933 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 12:37:50 +0000 Freckles 2382933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: one time DD chose a book where the boy said he hates his brother and wished he would die. 😳 I know her tastes so I always get a mix of things...though it tends to skew heavily on Halloween and princess books. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-for-specific-books-at-the-library#post-2382928 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 12:32:18 +0000 dc yoga bee 2382928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now that LO is 6 months old, we know what kind of books she gets most excited about; animals! And we like reading rhyming books. So, now instead of blindly pulling picture books from the bin, I look for books about animals that rhyme and have you make the animal sounds. I just read her polar pola bear what do you hear, and she went bananas when I roared like a lion. The other night I checked out Barnyard Dance and she loved it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-for-specific-books-at-the-library#post-2382927 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 12:29:22 +0000 looch 2382927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I don't. I let my son wander and pick what he wants. We get the most random titles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-for-specific-books-at-the-library#post-2382898 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 12:04:58 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2382898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: I just did this and it was amazing! I was able to use a list and have them waiting at check out and then enjoy the time browsing with my kids! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-for-specific-books-at-the-library#post-2382887 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 11:55:13 +0000 autumnlove 2382887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: I looked for a book that you posted about before!

I always try to reserve books ahead of time to make our trips shorter too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-for-specific-books-at-the-library#post-2382860 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 11:38:16 +0000 autumnlove 2382860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually have a few in mind and select the rest based on their titles and covers! :-) My LOs get to choose a few as well.</p> <p>I used Mrs. Cowgirl's recent post as a reference yesterday and checked out 4 books on her list! </p>
