Resources for  Talking to Your Children About COVID-19

7/20/2020

Explaining to your children about the current pandemic and why we need to protect ourselves and other people can be difficult. We've put together a short list of resources that might be helpful when it comes to talking to your children about the Coronavirus.

Here are some helpful resources provided by NY State to help you talk with your children about COVID-19. All books on the list are online and can be accessed without coming to the library.

Here are some videos put out by the Cincinnati Children's Hospital that cover different aspects of the pandemic.

​Also, check out Sick Simon by Dan Krall. While this book isn't explicitly about COVID-19, it does talk about how easy it is to spread germs, and the importance of washing your hands and covering your mouth. Call us at (914) 693-6636 to place it on hold today!

Are you looking for some new books to read? Come check out our window display and take home some books! As long as we're open, we can get you the books right away. The display is to the left of the entrance to the library. You can bring your children to come look at the options (while also checking out our new adults books for yourself), and call us at (914) 693-6636 once you know which ones you want. We can check them out to you and bring them outside immediately.

Need some help finding books? Keep checking this blog as we update with book recommendations and lists. Or, if you want something more personalized, email Marianne at [email protected]. Just provide the ages and genders of your children along with some information about what books they like or genres they are looking for, and we can give you a bunch to take home. Anything we give you that you don't want, you can just stick in our outdoor book drop.
