Playfulness ensues as soon as you walk into the Children’s Department of the Westhampton Free Library. Right by the entryway is a bookcase that features an eclectic array of items. Which librarian do these items belong to? That’s the guessing game all the children and parents play when they visit the library. In this manner, the children become familiar with the librarians in the department. Children enter the room and, upon seeing the librarian, frequently exclaim: “I guessed it was you!” to the librarian. Not only are the kids proud of their sleuthing skills, they get to know their neighborhood librarians just a little better.
Awesome idea!
