Back To School

     Back To School 

When summer smells like apples
and shadows feel cool
and falling leaves make dapples
of color on the pool
and wind is in the maples
and sweaters are the rule
and hazy days spell lazy ways
it’s hard to go to school.
But I go!

                  - A poem by Eileen Fisher

Something to Celebrate! Children's Hit Parade!

As part of making our library as user-friendly as possible, the children's music collection has recently been reorganized for library users in order to make browsing and finding your favorite children's music artists and albums as easy as possible.

The old system used a series of alphabet and number codes to classify music and was really intended for specialized music collections.  Our new system shelves children's music in alphabetical order- so that, for example, all of Laurie Berkner's CDs are now shelved together under "B" for Berkner.  Some albums are shelved by series-- so, if you or your little one can't get enough of Sesame Street, you can just browse the letter S- in fact, Sesame Street CDs have their own special section, as do series such as Classical Kids, Kidz Bop, The Wiggles, Pete Seeger, and Ella Jenkins, among others.
