Unlock Your Imagination: Explore the Library at Treasures of Bako

Building a Library of Wonders

At Treasures of Bako we believe every book holds the power to transport you to another world or deepen your understanding of your own. Our Library Collection welcomes readers with a curated mix of vintage classics, historic speeches, timeless fiction and enlightening nonfiction. Whether you love the tactile feel of a hardcover or the flexibility of a softcover, there’s something here for every bibliophile. From beloved Dr. Seuss tales to comprehensive encyclopedias and sacred texts like the Bible, each volume is a journey through time. Some of our treasures are more than a century old, waiting to become part of your personal library.

Our shop currently lists over one hundred unique titles—including 1960s issues of American Heritage, illustrated classics like Black Beauty and Cinderella, and children’s favorites like Because a Little Bug Went Ka‑CHOO!. Thousands more books are queued for upload, so each week brings fresh discoveries. Whether you’re a collector of rare first editions, a parent hunting for bedtime stories or a history buff looking for primary sources, our Library Collection offers a treasure hunt you can enjoy from anywhere.

Why Reading Matters

Reading isn’t just entertainment—it shapes our minds and well‑being. Research from the Universities of Cambridge, Warwick and Fudan shows that children who start reading for pleasure early in life perform better on cognitive tests and enjoy better mental health as adolescents. The same study found that these early readers have improved brain structure and fewer behavioral problems. Encouraging reading at home builds vocabulary, strengthens memory and fosters empathy—skills that benefit children and adults alike. When you build a personal library, you create a space where curiosity thrives and screen time falls away.

Spotlight on Joy Berry and Child’s World

Among the many books we’re loading are extensive collections by Joy Berry and Child’s World. Joy Berry is an American author and child‑development specialist who has written more than 250 self‑help books for kids, selling over 85 million copies worldwide. Known as the “Inventor of Self‑Help Books for Kids,” Berry created her books to help children become responsible for themselves, their relationships and their environment. Her series—Teach Me About, Let’s Talk About and Help Me Be Good—are cherished by parents and educators for their practical wisdom and engaging storytelling. Our Joy Berry section features dozens of these titles, perfect for teaching social‑emotional skills and character development.

Child’s World is another highlight of our Library. This independent, family‑owned company has been publishing books for schools and libraries since 1968 and strives to create educational books children enjoy reading. Their series cover science, history, geography and early readers with colorful illustrations and age‑appropriate language. We’ve started uploading Child’s World collections so you can introduce young readers to topics ranging from animals and seasons to historic events.
