New Readers Find Great Books at the Pawling LIbrary

At the Pawling Library, we are working hard to match great books with readers of every size and experience. We've added leveling stickers to the books in our Easy Reader section to help parents identify books that are at their children's current reading levels.  Stickers are color coded and placed at the top of the spine for make them easy to locate. The letters on the stickers correspond to a specific set of criteria that support readers at each level.  This helps parents find books that are just right for their child.  The earliest levels are stored in labeled boxes to make viewing and selecting titles easier for children.

A cross reference chart is located near the section, to help parents understand the levels and how they relate to their child's grade level. Please visit our Easy Reader section and see how easy it can be to help your children find great books that are just right for their growing reading skills!

Pawling Library Updates its HIP Collection

The Pawling Library has recently updated its Health Information Project materials (HIP)! HIP materials feature videos and books with a focus on teen health and social issues and substance abuse prevention. These materials are recommended by teens for teens and address areas of concern to teens, their families, educators and agencies serving youth. The research-based RISK AND PROTECTIVE FACTOR PREVENTION FRAMEWORK applies for all materials.

Videos have public performance rights and are useful for teachers in classrooms and workshops, for youth services providers and program leaders, parents, and young adults. They work well to facilitate group discussion and are helpful for student research assignments or presentations. Visit MHLS' Health Information Project main page to view all topics and related materials available free of charge through libraries in the MidHudson Library System..

The Health Information Project is funded by the New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS) and in part by Dutchess County Government.
