Children's Services

Children's Services provides special 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.

• Special Programs - Elementary-aged programming, holiday events, and other fun activities
• 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.
