2025 is going to be packed with exciting new releases, and we can’t wait to get them on our shelves. Here’s a list of some titles we are most excited to read in the new year.

Family Literacy Day is an annual celebration every January 27 that promotes the importance of reading and engaging in other literacy-related activities as a family.
