Selecting the right books for your child is easier than ever with AR BookFinder

With just a few clicks, you can search for titles at the appropriate level that your child will find interesting and enjoyable. AR BookFinder is a great way to search by interest, reading level and/or points. This database includes all books that have AR tests available, so we will not have all these books in the St. John's library.  Your local public library is a great source for finding most any book on the AR BookFinder website. You can request your book on their website and they will have it sent to the library closest to you for pick up.
(HomeConnect uses the same username and password your child uses to take AR tests.)
