Book Voyagers is our literature program for young people ages 6 to 13.  It uses book circles led by gifted storytellers to explore dozens of award-winning children's titles from Abiyoyo to Harry Potter. Our menu includes 11 different thematic series, some for children on their own and others for children with a parent, grandparent or caregiver. Book Voyagers is offered in libraries throughout the state and is part of the Hartford Public School System's after school program.

Book Voyagers has been recognized by the Connecticut Library Association with the Faith Hektoen award for contributions to library services for children.
