Welcome to the Library Children’s Room!
Where children are encouraged to explore, play, create, and develop a love of reading.
Programs and Services:
Events & Programs: The Library has programs for children of all ages! We have story times, story crafts, sing-a-longs, interactive lectures, and crafts presented by artists, chefs, Librarians, and museum curators.
Research: In addition to a vast collection of print material, the Library also subscribes to a number of online databases which provide access to reliable and age appropriate research material as well as educational games.
Summer Reading Clubs: Held annually in July and August.
• Read-to-Me Summer Reading Club: Help your little one develop valuable skills by reading, singing, and playing games with them throughout the summer in this reading club designed for children ages 0-4.
• Summer Reading Club: Keep your child reading throughout the summer! After a child reads four books, they will be invited to the Summer Reading Club Party at the end of the summer. Open to children ages 4-12.

Collection:
Catering to children from birth to sixth grade, the Children’s Library contains:
- Picture books: Filled with both words and pictures, these books are perfect for parents to read aloud at story time.
- Easy Readers: Perfect for beginner readers in the first and second grades, these short books have illustrations and use simple words and sentences to tell a story.
- Chapter Books: Fiction books for readers from third to sixth grade. These books are longer and more complex than Easy Reads and have few, if any, illustrations.
- AR Books: Many of our books are compatible with the Accelerated Reader program. Find AR titles here.
- Non-Fiction: Books that are fact-based rather than stories. Non-fiction books are used in research projects.
- Magazines: Popular children’s magazines including Highlights and National Geographic Kids.
- Music CDs: Music from popular children’s programs, movies, and artists.
- Computers: We have several terminals for homework and entertainment.
