Childrens Services & Resources

The Library loves our littlest patrons! Our recently renovated Children’s Area is on the lower level of the Library, giving children the space to explore and learn without worrying about disturbing the peaceful adult area. The Library is a great place for children and their caregivers to play, read, and develop those important early literacy and social skills!

We offer a wide variety of children’s programming, including three age-leveled Storytimes a week, Curious Club (a Curious George-themed STEM club for kids ages 3-6), Make a Difference Club for ages 9-12, Pages and Paws, Lego Club, and monthly Block Parties! We are also pleased to be an Inquire Within library as we partner with PBS Kids and WQED to offer hands-on learning experiences for our young readers while incorporating their favorite PBS Kids characters. Plus, we are always having fun events like movie screenings, art nights, and holiday parties like our yearly Polar Express Night! Check our Library homepage for specific dates and times of all our children’s programs.

This June 29th, look for our Summer Reading Program, “Imagine Your Story,” to be presented online! We are using the Beanstack app to organize our reading and activity challenges, and follow us on our Facebook page to see the different virtual programs we’ll be offering! Keep an eye out for details on our website and Facebook page as we get closer.
