Beginning Readers Moved

When you come to visit, you may notice that things are not in their usual places. Don't panic! We are revamping the children's area to make it more efficient. The beginning readers are not gone, they have been moved behind the picture books. We are removing the shelves where they formerly sat to make room for a new computer desk. If you can't find what you need, please be sure to ask one of us for help.
