Field Trip to the Shrewsbury Public Library

As part of our ongoing focus on community helpers and goods and services that we will be working on this year, we took a trip to the newly renovated Shrewsbury Public Library.  We had the opportunity to take a tour of the library and not only see the places that are open to the public, but also got a behind the scenes look at what happens in the library.  We were able to see how the new electronic book return system works as well as how books are labeled and ready to be placed on the shelf.  We then ended our tour in the children's room. We were able to learn about all of the services that are available to us at the library and what is free to check out.  Miss Sharon read us a couple of stories and we were able to explore the beautiful courtyard.  Kids searched for the hidden owls that are part of the outdoor decor.  If you haven't yet had the opportunity to check out the new library, I invite you to have your child take you on a tour of your own!
