The Children's Room at the Central Library has a a wonderful collection of children's books in all subject areas. I went into their stacks to see what I could find in the craft area. I found a collection of craft books from the 1930s forward. Here is a sampling of what I found. Click on the book cover to see more about the book. If you are interested in any of these books make sure you asked a Children's librarian to help you locate them.
Come in and take a look in the Children's Room and don't forget to ask about the Secret Room. This special room houses the George W. Cooper International Doll Collection.
In the 1930s, through a doll exchange with schools and organizations in other
countries, the students and teachers of #43 School gathered a collection of 180
dolls dressed in traditional clothing. Since its donation to the library in
1940, the collection has grown through individual donations to over 200 dolls.
