Juvenile Collection, Library 2nd Floor



For the remainder of the summer we will be moving juvenile books within the stacks on the library second floor. Working from the end of the collection to the beginning, an additional four sections will be allotted to juvenile books. This means more room on the shelf, an easier time locating and returning books to the stacks, and opportunity to grow the collection. During this time there will be large gaps in the stacks and the above sign placed in the empty sections. At any time, just move several sections to your right and the remainder of the collection will be at your fingertips.

As always, please feel free to ask for help locating titles in the juvenile collection. Thanks for your patience!

Here is a sampling of titles recently added to the library's recreational reading collection.
