Clark the Shark Dares to Share

In Clark the Shark Dares to Share, Clark learns that sharing is caring--but sometimes the lesson is a little confusing. Clark shares his funky shark dance with the class, but Mrs. Inkydink tells him he has to wait his turn. Clark shares his reef-hockey skills, but his teammates would rather Clark share the puck. With help from his friends and with his trademark lively rhythms and rhymes, Clark learns how to share in this follow-up to Clark the Shark.

Free eMusic for Kids at the Library

Free and legal music downloads for you AND your kids are available at the library.

How Freegal Music Works:

Library users have a weekly download limit. You will be able to keep track of your downloads in the upper right corner of the site. Every song has a sample clip you can listen to before you download. You must be logged in to enjoy the sample clips. (Login using your library card and password.)
The downloads on this site are all in the MP3 format with no DRM, and videos are in the MP4 format with no DRM. This service will work on almost any computer, player, tablet or smartphone. The Freegal Music mobile app is free in the Apple® App Store and in Google® Play.
Music videos will cost you 2 of your allotted downloads. If you do not have 2 downloads available you will not be able to download a music video.
The search engine is both a simple and advanced search, and will return results primarily by the album that the song is from.

Enjoy the site!

You can browse through all the music on freegal or look at just the listings for children's music.
