My grandchildren love to read but I would like to avoid bringing too many books on the trip. Are there any book stores on the island? Especially I hope there are places selling books for children.
I can't say for certain but it makes sense that there would be. I've bought the odd novel from the market stalls before so there is definitely some chance of children's books. With the large tourist and ex-pat community it would be strange if not.
There is definitely a library on Aruba. I'm not sure if it is possible to borrow books - you probably have to join - but it is an option for a quiet hour if they are okay with browsers and on site readers.
