There are treasures to find in the Children's Library

     If you haven't been in the Children's Library for a while, you should venture that way.  Even standing at the front check-out counter, you can see the big black and white cow standing in the Children's Library doorway.  There she is, standing on the green grass, under the white fluffy clouds, against the blue background.  And she's holding a sign that says, "READ MORE BOOKS!"
     All around her is a frame filled with book covers that say Moo Who?, Good Thing You're not an Octopus, Captain Duck, Bear with Me, When Dinosaurs Came with Everything...you probably get the idea...books about animals.
     But this is just where the fun begins!
     There's a treasure hunt for you in the Children's Library.  And even if you don't have children to bring to the library, you should see if you can find:

• the pirate's chest full of books and beads,
• the black spider with the straw hat, who holds a library card,
• the red/yellow/blue/green locking tiles where the puzzles are kept,
• the yellow school bus filled with pencils and the white mouse who sits atop a stack of papers,
• the tall tree with the cows hanging from its branches,
• the "wimpy kid" standing at the end of a bookshelf,
• the red and blue windsock with a dragonfly (look high for that one), and
• Owney, the Mail Pouch Pooch.

     The large, colorful room is filled with displays of interesting, exciting book displays, as well as loads of places to sit (for parents, too), and small tables where the little ones can sit and work on their colorbook pictures provided for them.
     "READ MORE BOOKS" is the theme.  Ms. Michele, the Children's Library Coordinator, said she's getting ready for September and the special events she's planning.
     Now's the time to check out all the treasures in the Children's Library.  You won't be sorry!  It's just another step toward September.
