Many books on the Suggested Reading List can be found at Buffalo & Erie County Public Libraries.

Lists are separated by reading level and organized by title in alphabetical order. Each title summary indicates whether titles are available in braille or audio format. To order titles, you may contact TBBL, request books through their online catalog, or download titles instantly through BARD.
