Accelerated Reader

Accelerated Reader is a program many local schools use to help students read books at the appropriate reading level and take quizzes to improve reading comprehension.

PPL's library catalog does not currently offer an Accelerated Reader search option.

For the widest selection of search option, visit the Accelerated Reader website. The site allows you to search by title, author, book level, and more. When you find books that interest you, you can return to the library catalog to see whether they are owned by Yavapai County libraries.

If your child attends Washington Traditional School, you can search for Accelerated Reader books that are held in the library there:
