WINTER STORYTIME BEGINS THIS FEBRUARY

This free program will help children understand the written word and the world they live in while having fun. Parents get to spend quality time with their children without any preparation. Families have the opportunity to explore the library as a free resource for life-long learning.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Kaitlyn Arford, children’s and adults services clerk, recommends the Smithsonian’s Wildlife of the World, for its photographs and facts on animals both well-known and little heard of. This is a great book for children and teens to use for research projects or to just learn more about creatures of different continents. Wildlife of the World is shelved in the new adult nonfiction section under 591 Amb.
