Bronx Zoo Critters

Bobby Smith, winner of Treasury Street’s Book Award for Excellence in Children’s Literature for “Monkeys Galore”, hits a bull’s-eye again with this collection of twenty-six poems — an ode to zoo animals. This rhyming romp though the ABC’s is perfectly paired with Betty Jone’s outrageous photographs.

Block Quotes

Selected by the Treasury Street Library Children’s Librarian.

Ah, back-to-school, the smell of a new pack of crayons, sharpened yellow pencils with pink erasers, and the excitement of the fresh and new. September means a clean slate for some and a reunion of friends for others. For children’s librarians “Back to School” means constant requests for the perfect “going to school” book: We want books about separation, making friends, dealing with new situations.

Enclosing text in blockquote tags indents the text and places a grey vertical bar to the left.

Greatest Hits of 2006

In 1970, Treasury Street graduate students chose the books they found most useful during their time at Treasury Street and the Library created this bibliography based on their choices. So, the Library decided to create a new list, based on the selections of the graduate students of 2006. Here are the results Treasury Street Library Bibliography. Annotations were written by graduate students who submitted the titles. Thank you to all the students who participated!

Running the mouse over “Treasury Street Library Bibliography” changes the color and underlines the link. If you click on this link it takes you to another site (not the one indicated in the text).
