How to find NEW Children’s Books!

One of my favorite library experiences, as both a librarian and a patron, is admiring and perusing the new books that come in to the library.  

I get excited when books that I’ve ordered arrive at my desk for processing...there’s just something about that new book smell!  

As a children’s librarian in the Children’s Room at the Main Library it made me so happy to watch families search the latest books for the perfect read.  

We’re still selecting and ordering the latest published books -- new books that you’ve suggested, requested, and that we hope that you’ll enjoy.

This month, I'm sharing five titles that we've acquired since our doors closed in March 2020 that I’m excited about! You can reserve a copy of each by placing a hold on the title and picking it up at a location that's convenient for you.
