Reading gives us some place to go when we have to stay where we are. – Mason Cooley

In this Issue

Welcome to the first edition of the LibraryVoices, brought to you by WordyWoods Children’s Library. This is an attempt to share our love of reading, discovering inspiring books and understanding self and the world around us. You will find the whys and hows of our Library work and the voices of our readers.

Online Book Reading Program

We conduct weekly online Book Reading program with children to experience stories and interpretations. The focus is to have fun while reading books and as an incentive strengthen language reading, writing, speaking, thinking and understanding capability.

Latest Books in our Collection

Collection building is one of my favorite activities and I try to find inspiration to explore books across multiple themes, interests and genres.

1. This quarter I was inspired by a little toddler for whom I had to have some cloth books to touch, feel, scrunch and play about with.
2. Next was a query from my ‘not so little’ daughter on why in all stories kingdoms are ruled by kings? So, I went on a spree to get stories that tell the other narrative also – that even queens rule kingdoms.
3. We also keep our collection up to date with adding children books shortlisted for Literary Awards like Neev Book Awards and Parag Honor Lists.

As you can see from the above list, children needs and their reading interest hugely informs what we add to our collection. So go ahead and share what your children want to see in the library collection.
