It's Christmas Book-Shopping Season, Bookcasters!

Hey there Reader,

It's December and that means it's time to think about what you're going to get for the readers in your life, especially the young readers. To help you out, I've put together a list of over 30 Oklahoma authors who write for children and middle-grade readers. The list includes links to their websites or other places where you can purchase their books to make it easy to support these local authors and grab some great fantastic books to encourage the kids in your life to keep reading!

You can access the full list here (no login or email required).

Other Shopping Helps:

A couple of other links to help you help you shop for readers of all ages (including yourself!).
