As part of the Syracuse Public Library's mission of lifelong learning, the children's department recently added several new nonfiction sets to its collection. Megan, SPL children's librarian, has been eager to expand the nonfiction section in the children's department to provide children with more updated books on various subjects. Nonfiction is fun like that -- it's constantly changing as humanity's knowledge expands. These sets from ABDO will fulfill that goal! From sports to other cultures to science, there is something here for every child's interests. Newly Available Nonfiction Sets

There are so many great new children's books to explore at the Syracuse Public Library! Here are the bulk of the new titles, which include picture books, chapter books, graphic novels, nonfiction books, and books targeted to early readers. What will you reading in the month of October?
August was a much needed break after summer reading, but now, we're ready to get down to business this autumn. And oh, do we have a lot of fun plans! Emilia is launching a brand-new program tailored to tweens and older children: Monday Funday! This program occurs at 4 p.m. each Monday, starting Sept. 12. During it, Emilia will task children to complete different challenges. The first session will be a Lego Build Contest on Sept. 12. Fans of Guinness World Records won't want to miss Sept 19, which will be all about "Break a Record." Finally, Sept. 26 will be a taste test. Just what does Emilia have up her sleeves? You'll have to come to know what you'll be tasting!
Our regular Homeschool Program and Storytime are also returning and will now be at 10:30 a.m. each Wednesday, starting Sept. 14. Miss Rebekah will cover a variety of topics in September. She'll lead off with the science of cloud formation and how to identify them on Sept. 14. Then on Sept. 21, prepare to hit the high seas with "HISTORY Pirates"! The last Wednesday of the month, Sept. 28, will center on the culture and geography of Hawaii. While the children learn, we encourage their parents to network with fellow home-schooling parents and share resources. At the same time as the Homeschool Program, Miss Megan will lead Storytime for younger preschool children. This is a great opportunity for children to engage with fantastic stories and the alphabet. Afterward, there will be crafts or coloring. Continue to watch the Children's page for additional topics and programming-related news. We've had a lot of new books in this summer. Here are some of the latest ones in the children's department.
There is always something new at the Syracuse Public Library! Below are the new titles available in the children's department.

Through the Fairfield Schools Family Literacy Fund, a grant made possible by an anonymous donor, children who live within the Fairfield Community Schools district (Clinton, Benton, and Jackson townships) can receive a free Syracuse Public Library card! Sign up is now active and will run through Aug. 1. The purpose of this program is to prevent the "summer slide" that a long break from school can cause by providing access to a library. Families within Clinton, Jackson, and Benton townships can come to the Syracuse Public Library with their photo IDs and proof of address (such as a utility bill or other piece of mail) to register for these summer library cards.
To qualify, children must be aged birth to those entering grade 12 in the fall. Children need not attend school to be eligible -- preschoolers and homeschoolers within the three townships are encouraged to come, too. Families with multiple children aged birth to 12 years old will only receive one card; however, children 13-18 are eligible for their own library cards. The summer library card gives the cardholder access to all library services and materials with the exception of hotspots. This includes access to Overdrive/Libby and Hoopla databases, providing access to e-books, audiobooks, magazines, TV shows, movies, documentary, online classes, music and more. Summer library cards expire Aug. 31. The Syracuse Public Library does offer nonresident library cards for one year ($75.50) or four months ($25.50) for those interested in maintaining a long-term library card. For more information, call the library at (574) 457-3022. We've had a massive influx of new children's books at the Syracuse Public Library. Below is just a small selection of the titles now available, with more waiting to be cataloged. Be sure to check them out during your next visit.
