A Childhood Issue? Ask a Librarian

When parents need help, they talk to school psychologists, to therapists, social workers, their own parents, friends themselves and more than you might think, the local librarian. In the nearly 20 years since one librarian became children’s librarian, she’s seen an enormous growth in childre’s services. When she began, she was the only children’s librarian for three buildings; today there are 10 children’s librarians in the three buildings. Her town opened a new main branch last year, and a major reason was to expand children’s services from 2,000 to 10,000 square feet.
