CHILDREN'S PROGRAMS
Welcome to the Studio City Branch Children's Librarian's Page
My name is Barbara Metzenbaum and I am happy to be here in Studio City. I have specialized in connecting children and literature for many years as a school librarian and I would love to have our Studio City children visit me for help in finding wonderful books to read. Come in and introduce yourself. I can help show you how to research information for reports, too.

Sword in the Stone. The magician Merlin uses all his magic powers to change a
scrawny little boy into a legendary hero! It's a delightful version of Arthur as
a young child. Bill Peet wrote the screenplay taken from T.H. White's book of
