This summer has been so fun with our reading challenge theme "Libraries Rock!" Music is so important for young people for brain development, early literacy, coordination, plus plain old fun! As a play on the old game, we asked our children's librarians what their top five albums are that would be essential if they were stranded on a desert island with a group of storytime kids. Here is what you would find on their ipods.
