Children's Library Bag with Easy-Carry Handles

A Library Bag Designed for Little Hands

Traditional library bags often use a drawstring as both the closure and handle, which can be awkward for young children to carry once books are added. Our handmade library bags are made differently. Instead of thin drawstrings, they feature sturdy handles that are easier for little hands to hold, making it simpler to carry home readers, library books, reading folders, and school books, but still fold flat when not in use.

Lightweight, practical, and available in a range of fabrics that make library day a little more fun and a little easier.

Designed for School Life

Our children's library bag was made because of a simple frustration. Traditional drawstring library bags can be awkward for young children to carry, especially once they're filled with books. The sturdy handles make it easier for children to carry their books independently, whether they're heading to school, bringing readers home, or visiting the local library.

One customer told me she wasn't expecting such a well-made bag and loved the handles because they made it much easier for her child to carry.

Some library bags are made using carefully selected reclaimed fabrics, giving quality textiles a second life. These fabrics may have originally been curtains, remnants, or other household textiles and have been cleaned, inspected, and repurposed into practical library bags. Fabric composition can not be confirmed for reclaimed fabrics.

FAQs
