Our entire children's language collection now has its own area in the new library. Please ask a children's librarian to guide you to this informative collection.

We feature beautifully illustrated picture books in both English and Spanish, English and Italian, and English and Hebrew. You will also find instructional kits with books and cassettes to get your child learning a new language. We have the popular Muzzy Language Courses that teach children French, Spanish, ESL, Italian, German, and Chinese. We also have dictionaries in Russian, Hebrew, Spanish, and Italian.

And please, help us get the word out about our Storytime in English and Spanish, on December 5 & 12.

Have you found our Large Print books in the new library?

Look for them in the Fiction section on the ground floor, between the regular fiction and the mysteries.

For help, ask a librarian at the reference desk.

Here is a list of the latest arrivals.

Visit the Young Adult Magazine corner in our new Young Adult room.

Feel free to browse our holdings: Calliope, Cicada, Gamepro, J-14, Seventeen, Shojo Beat, Shonen Jump, Skateboarding, Teen Vogue, and WWF.

Current magazines displayed in the binders on the magazine racks must be read in the library, but back issues of all these magazines may be checked out. The back issues are stored in the magazine racks - ask a librarian for help finding your favorite issues.

If the Young Adult Librarian is not at her desk, she may be helping out at the Main Reference Desk or at the Information Desk on the second floor, so please check in at those locations if you need assistance.

The pressure is on to complete your Science Fair Project... We can help with our Virtual Science Reference Books! Check out the titles listed here!
Here's a tip:
Click on the book title, then click on the eTable of Contents, then click on each page to reach the content. A little bit of work, but well worth the time and effort to discover all this information ONLINE! 24/7! There are lots of illustrations, in full color, too.
You will need to enter your library barcode, so have it ready!
And have fun at the Fair!
