Come See Our New Read Aloud Mural
There's something new inside the Storyroom: a treehouse! It's the centerpiece of our new Read Aloud mural which covers about half of the curved wall inside the Storyroom.
The mural, painted by artist Gale Hinton, was donated to the Children's Department by Read Aloud Chattanooga, an independent learning motivation initiative whose primary goal is "to dramatically increase the incidence and quality of reading aloud to our youngest children."
Children and parents will be delighted by scenes of children reading, by the backdrop of hills and rivers, and by the tiny little ants hidden all over the painting, doing things like waterskiing, having storytime, and more. To view pictures of this beautiful mural, click here. Or, better yet, come in and see it in person!
Latest: Thanks to Read Aloud Chattanooga, Northgate now has a fabulous mural in their Storyroom! To view pictures, click here.Central Library, 2nd Floor |
The Children's Department works with all materials aimed at our youngest patrons pre-school - 6th grade. Here you will find a wide variety of information.
