"Back to School" & "Don't Be A Bully"


Going to school for the first time is very scary for little ones. The Children’s Library has many books geared to children about school and what to expect. Parents can alleviate those fears and help their children make the transition from home to school by spending time reading to them about the new experiences that await them.

Another scary thing about going back to school for some children, is the fear of being the target of a bully. This is especially true if they were bullied the previous year. The Children’s Library has a display of books on the subject along with a handout about bullies. Parents can help their children early on if they know what signs to look for.
