Books for 0-8 years old

Let's read for the child from early age

Reading for children from an early age enhances vocabulary and language development and it helps their literacy skills later on. The City Library provides free library cards for children and teens to the age 18. The city library has wide selection of children's books in Icelandic, English and other languages. 

Here we have booklists in English for 0-8 years old. We also have booklists with books in Icelandic for 0-8 years old.
