Materials in the Children's Services Department are selected for ages birth through grade 5. Items are chosen from professional reviews, whenever they are available. Materials of like format are shelved together. Call numbers on each item indicate the location in the collection, i.e. jDVD, jPUZZLE, jFIC. Nonfiction materials are shelved using the Dewey Decimal Classification system. This system gives materials with similar subject matter the same call number, ie. j636 (pets), j398 (folktales), j973 (U.S. history). Suggestions for additions to the collection are always considered.

Please ask at the "Ask Here" desk for help in locating materials you cannot find.
