Winter is upon us! Warm up and enjoy some wintery books! Visit some of last year’s entries about winter (Winter Break and Snow! Snow! Snow! Snow! Snow! )or browse the catalog yourself. Here are some subject searches that will let you know what we have on winter in the Children’s Department.
The Children’s Department blog shares its name with the Children’s Department newsletter. Just out is the Winter 2010 edition of our newsletter. This is a wonderful resource for all things library.

The newsletter can be picked up at the Children’s Department desk, find it on our website in the kids’ room or click here.
