So you have children or you work with kids on the regular AND…they like to read. I don’t know about you, but it always does my heart good to see a child thumbing through the pages of a book. I love seeing the light in their eyes when they get excited about a character or setting. There’s nothing quite like the glee and giggles they exude when reading to themselves. And as a love for reading grows, so does the need for a nice place to put all of these books. I’ve assembled a list of some of the best bookshelves for kids that will give the little ones a great place to home their books, and maybe even create a reading nook!

When selecting a bookshelf, there are many factors to consider. There’s height, color, size, materials, and space. On top of that, the age of the child should also be considered when looking for the appropriate shelf. Some bookshelves will suit a kindergartener while others would be better for a middle schooler. If you’re not concerned about age, but would rather have something different or uncommon, check out our other post on Fun, Clever, and Unique Bookshelves.

In this list of bookshelves for kids, I’ve found pieces for children of different ages. I’ve also included a few that provide space for extra storage. Some will require assembly, so take that into account before purchasing. Now, let’s check out some bookshelves that are perfect for your little one’s library!
