Have you seen the new Family Collection?  It is a collection of (so far) about 50 books for parents of young children.  Funded by a California State Library grant (Early Learning With Families @ The Library) and with support from the Friends of the Monterey Public Library, this collection focusses on ages 0-5, play, reading, and brain development.  The new collection is conveniently located next to the picture book area.  Free pamphlets and wall toys were also added with ELF funding.  We have applied to expand the ELF project next year.  You can see the collection in the catalog if you search by call number "FAM".
