 Music for Kids, a project of the Maplewood Library, is a series of interactive, engaging musical adventures designed for young children and their caregivers.  The series is supported by a grant from a local civic foundation and is curated in collaboration with members of the Maplewood Arts Council. Inspiration for this series comes from a similar program created 30 years ago by Maplewood’s late, beloved community arts pioneer Jim Buchanan.
