Enchanted Forest |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The magical world of the Enchanted Forest allows children to interact
with their favorite books in ways they never dreamed of. The castle features
figures from the book Tomie de Paola's Mother Goose. The interior
of the cottage represents the mole's cottage from the children's book Wind
in the Willows. Three-dimensional dioramas feature scenes from other
familiar stories, including The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Tales
of Uncle Remus and the Tale of Tom Kitten. Don't forget to
look for the library's official mascot, Reggie the Reading Raccoon, who
greets you as you enter the forest. |

Original Illustrations Gallery |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Upon entering the
Youth Services Department, you will see something unique among libraries:
a gallery housing original illustrations from children's books. Some
of the top illustrators in the country (including many Caldecott award
winners) are represented in this collection. The illustrations are the
actual paintings or collages that the artist created, which were then
reproduced in the book. Here are just a few of our illustrations. We
welcome you to come and see the entire exhibit.
