Over the last few weeks we have been doing some housekeeping here in the Children's Room. We are going through the shelves and making room for new books, organizing our books, making repairs, and getting reaquainted with our collection, among other things. While doing this, a fellow librarian (Amy) made a unique discovery. Books on the bottom shelves just are not going out much. This is not surprising, since it requires one to bend down to the floor to browse. Only our smallest patrons could do that with ease... and they are probably the ones who still can't read! This prompted our first ever "Books From the Bottom Shelf" display. With so many wonderful authors in the simply unlucky position of being stuck on the bottom shelf, we decided to create an eye-level display just for them. Here are few you no longer have to bend down to enjoy:
Lizzy and Skunk by Marie Louise Fitzpatrick : Lizzy and her puppet Skunk have lots of adventures all while Lizzy faces her fears.
Utterly Otterly Day by Mary Casanova: Little Otter likes to play and thinks he's big enough to take care of himself. He learns that it's always good to have someone you love looking out for you (no matter how big you are).
Seamore, The Very Forgetful Porpoise by Darcie Edgemon: Seamore can't remember a thing. This is a huge problem for him, especially when he runs into a killer whale! What will Seamore do?
