New in the Parent Collection


Remember to check out our Parent Collection located in the adult section.  The collection includes books written at a child's level as well as resources for adults interested in learning more about a specific topic. It is filled with great resources on a variety of topics. 

We have books on:
  • Adoption
  • Bereavement
  • Bullying
  • Separation anxiety
  • Sibling issues and so much more.
 A new addition to the collection is Arlo Needs Glasses by Barney Saltzberg.  One in five school-age children needs glasses.  Arlo's story will help children ease the transition into their first pair of glasses.


"Every child who wears glasses will know just how Arlo feels and will feel better because of it.  In this inventive, interactive picture book, kids get to do just what Arlo does to solve his problem.  They read an eye chart, look through a fold out phoropter (that big machine optometrists use), and try on different pair of glasses--movie star glasses! superhero glasses! mad-scientist glasses! Arlo rediscovers how to be the best ball catcher in the neighborhood and picks up a new favorite pastime--reading."
