Library - web site

Baby RhymeBeware of the library.  Going inside can transport you to distant times and far away places; you may meet the most desirable of companions; you might fall into the clutches of the most evil of villains. 

Your life may never be the same.  Books can do that.  Give your children this gift as well.

The library has many other resources worth discovering.
