Dr. Seuss Marathon

At the John Jermain Library, Children's Book Week is in full swing. Tomorrow, at 4 p.m., Kenny Mann, a Sag Harbor author well known for her nonfiction books for young children, will read some of her books as well as some of her personal favorites.

On Saturday, the special week will conclude with a 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. marathon reading of Dr. Seuss. Dale Scott, head of the children's section, has invited everybody to listen to or read Dr. Seuss, whose book "Oh, the Places You'll Go" is the national theme of this year's Children's Book Week.

These readings are in addition to the regular weekly story hours: Leah Oppenheimer has one for toddlers at 1:30 p.m. on Mondays, and Ms. Scott has one for older children on Saturdays at 3:30 p.m.

Since Ms. Scott's arrival at the library in September, the children's section has been undergoing an expansion. The entire main floor, formerly dedicated to adult fiction and periodicals plus the children's section, will cater to children and young adults exclusively. Also, a new children's section with books in Spanish, including translations of classic children's books, has been added.
