The Nebraska Growing Readers Digital Library has a number of features that can enhance your reading experience:

- Categorized shelves--Books are conveniently broken down into categories to help you find the types of books that interest your child.
- Nebraska specific books--We have a growing catalog of books written by Nebraskan authors and about topics related to the state. Look for the "Nebraska" categorized shelves.
