Once again, Barnes and Noble receives the votes from Miami-Dade and Broward readers for its fun, educational and high-quality children's programming. Children's favorite characters are not only found in the pages of the books on the store shelves, but sometimes in the store itself. Store staff members not only sell books, but also promote a love of reading through their energized and interactive programs, including author visits, arts and crafts, singing, puppets and more. Parents won't mind spending time browsing the bookshelves for old favorites or current bestsellers, either. There are few better ways to spend your money and your time than enriching both your own and your child's mind.
