If you've visited the Children's area of one of our branches, you may have noticed that some picture books are grouped into sections with matching colored labels on the books. Those books have been grouped together by theme to help you find books about the things you like best. (You might sometimes also see them referred to as Glades.)
We have recently updated some of these themes. Take a look at the themes and their color codes below, and check out the Picture Book section next time you're in the library. If you have any questions or need help finding anything, ask a librarian. We're always happy to help!
