19 books to help children find hope and strength in stressful times: A librarian’s list

A great reading list by Karen MacPherson from the Washington Post (December 13):

Painted Pony finds a new home

The painted pony in the Southwest room has been on loan to Main Library.  Now the owners have found a permanent home for it at Christus Saint Vincent Hospital where children will enjoy it for years to come.

The pony rode off into the sunset today.
