The Art of the Picture Book at Sequoya

April 6th, 2009 Tana

The Sequoya Branch Library houses Madison’s largest and most heavily used picture book collection. Thanks to a generous grant from the Madison Community Foundation, Sequoya now has the opportunity to expand their selection. Adding depth and breadth to an already widely-used collection, Sequoya will focus on adding Caldecott and other award-winning picture books, ensuring that library patrons have access to finest books for children. In addition, Madison Community Foundation funds have under-written the costs for an activity-rich emergent literacy alcove where the collection will be housed, giving families the opportunity to share the best of the best in picture books and a delightful ambiance to enjoy them in.
