The Windsor Terrace Library is one of the top 10 finalists for the "Bike The Branches
Book Display Contest." Vote for the Windsor Terrace branch's display here.
The House of Windsor proudly presents its submission for the Bike the Branches Book Display Contest. We wanted our display to reflect Curious George’s inquisitive nature. Our display includes books, music CDs and DVDs all about Curious George, bikes and of course our collection in general.Taking inspiration from the original book about the curious monkey, we recreated the scene where George first sees the mysterious yellow hat. The yellow hat is what sets the stage for the events that follow. Like George’s adventure through the city, we hope patrons will also become a little curious about our branch in our beloved borough of Brooklyn as they Bike the Branches.
