Music  →  Children’s Music  →  Songs For The Classroom  →  Library Songs

The songs here are specifically aimed at the Library, not only as a resource area for information, but also the enjoyment of reading books and discovering the wider world of fiction, fantasy and fact.

Both were written for Book Week celebrations with the “Library Song” used as a teaching tool for understanding the various sections of this important resource. “Undercover” is just fun!
