Peek-A-Book at the Commerce Central Library!  Bring your children and family to the Central Library to try Peek-A-Book, the colorful children's book computer and display in the children's area of the Central Library. Using a touch screen, children of all ages can watch lively previews of children's books designed to get children excited about reading and borrowing the featured books from the library. After reading a featured book, children can test their reading skills by taking a Peek-A-Book quiz about the book they read.
