The Library collects a limited number of children’s and youth books for use by education students developing curricula and lesson plans. Although our collection of these materials is smaller than what a good public library would offer, it evidently met the requirements of some young visitors to the Library in June. Seated with Dean Baron are Jubilee (age 8, reading Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc), Joshua (age 5, reading Love is Walking Hand in Hand), Christia (age 10, reading By the Shores of Silver Lake), and Laya (age 6, reading A Christmas Book).
