Songbook Index, Children's

This database is an index to over 150 songbooks owned by the Children's Services Section at the Appleton Public Library. To search for a particular song, use "search for song titles." To search for the title of a particular songbook, use "search for songbooks." This index will help you find a book that contains the words and music to a song, not a recording. On the results page, clicking on the book title will open a new window and connect you to the library catalog to tell you if the book is checked in or out. Please call the Family Readers' Advisory Desk at 832-6187 if you have questions about the Children's Songbook index or need help finding a song.
