We created the Interabang Modern First Library when we first opened our doors, and it continues to be one of the most important elements of our wonderful children’s department. The Modern First Library is our curated collection of young children’s books that we feel open the doors to new experiences, broaden horizons, teach lessons and take us on a journey of the imagination. They are timeless classics, both old and new that we feel build a child’s library that they will love and treasure for years to come.
The Interabang Kid’s department is stocked up with wonderful books for the young and young at heart for the gift giving season. I am highlighting just a few of the many delightful titles that are perfect for bringing a smile, telling a story of hope, filling us with joy and sharing a sense of love and compassion.

As life has slowed in many ways in these past weeks -- despite our having much to contemplate and occupy our minds -- I find it more crucial than ever to use paths of human connection to still our minds and lift our spirits.

What a treasure trove of children’s books we have that tell the stories of amazing, strong, brave and influential women! March is women’s history month so be sure to come in to Interabang Books to find tales to inspire the young people in your life of women such as these. There are stories about artists, scientists, aviators, journalists, judges, dancers, thinkers and dreamers. Many of their stories you may have never heard about before. Here are just a few of our favorites but there will be many on display at the store.

Though hot Texas days have not yet released their hold, fall is in the air at Interabang Books. Fall is my favorite season and a wonderful time to find some beautiful books that highlight this time of year. From a lovely picture book about a scarecrow and a crow becoming friends, an island taken over by pumpkins, or the wonder of falling leaves, we feature a wonderful, ever changing selection of fall titles. Here are just a few.
Who are the heroes who shaped the world? From Marie Curie to Nelson Mandela, people from all over have made global society what it is. Inventors, authors, activists, athletes and others show us that anyone has the ability to accomplish great things. It is never too early for the young to learn about extraordinary people and be inspired to undertake wonderful works of their own. Here are some of our favorite children’s books and biographies.
