Children's Services

Children's Services provides specialized library facilities for all young patrons through sixth grade and for those adults interested in working with children. Throughout the year the staff provides scheduled tours, class visits, unique displays, family and special programs, and school visits. Programs for younger children include registered toddler and preschool storytime sessions. Assistance with research and reading guidance is provided by staff. 

We also provide:

• The Sharing Box - an activity box for a child and an adult caregiver. Ask about it at the Children's Services Desk.
• Storytime Sampler - on the Second and Fourth Mondays of the month at the Bittersweet Branch Library
• Treetop Tales -on the First and Third Mondays of the month at the Harris Branch Library
• Who's Hiding This Month in the Library? - Each month the Bittersweet Branch hosts "Who's Hiding in the Library?" A drawing is held at the end of the month for two lucky children.
• Computer Services - Each location has computers for use by children 6th grade and under. Most stations have word processing, Internet access, and games which are educational and fun.
• School Visits - The staff of the three locations are more than happy to visit classrooms, or to have children come in for a tour of what the Library has to offer.
