The Library staff is always seeking better ways to help our patrons
find what they need, whether it is a satisfying leisure read or information to
fulfill a homework assignment. In the Children’s Library, for example,
collections are divided into separate sections for different ages, reading
levels or purposes, such as the Holiday collection and the Early Reader
section, further divided into 3 subgroups to correspond to level ranking used
in the schools.
Over the summer, we have been making a number of additional changes.
When complete, one of the most noticeable will be the creation of a separate
location for “Chapter Books,” previously mixed in Juvenile Fiction right next
to the huge volumes by J.K. Rowling and Rick Riordan. These are books geared to those just moving
beyond Early Readers, such as the Magic Tree House and other popular series.
To help folks become familiar with where things are now located in the
Lodewick Children’s Library, we are hosting a Back-to-School Scavenger Hunt the
week after Labor Day. Kids in Kindergarten through Grade 5 are invited to drop
in any time the Library is open on September 5-9 and pick up a scavenger hunt
form. All who complete the hunt will
receive a small prize.
