Through this program the Northwood School at City Library has been able to add over 200 books, videotapes, and cassette tapes to its holdings. In February, as part of Reading Month, the Northwood School and City Library holds its annual book swap . The book swap is open to all who wish to participate. Each book brought in must be in good condition, it cannot be a withdrawn library book or school textbook. Magazines, board books, and Little Golden Books are not allowed.
Books are to be brought in during the first three weeks of the month.
The librarian then organizes and sorts all of the books. This program has proven to be one of the most popular ever held in the Northwood School and City Library. In the summer the Northwood School and City Library generally holds a summer reading program in which children who have not yet entered sixth grade are encouraged to celebrate reading. These programs may offer prizes for the most books read or may allow the children to share a growing experience based on literature. All children enrolled in grades K through 6 have weekly Library Skills classes.
