General Publications

  • When It's Time to Give a Gift

    When most of us buy presents for new babies, infants, toddlers and preschoolers, we often think of toys first. But children need to be introduced to books, nursery rhymes, songs and stories, from their earliest days for intellectual stimulation.

    The Children's Librarians of the Queens Library have compiled suggestions to help find appropriate books for gift-giving for all occasions: birthdays, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Chanukah or whenever you wish to find a treat for a young child in your life, from birth through six years old.

    To obtain a copy, please write to Public Relations Department, Queens Library, 89-11 Merrick Boulevard, Jamaica, NY 11432; phone 718/990-0705; or e-mail publications@queenslibrary.org.

  • A Quick Guide to the Dewey Decimal System

    The Dewey Decimal Classification system (DDC) is a general knowledge organization tool often used by public libraries to classify and organize materials. Find a summary the Dewey Decimal system and its associated subjects.
