YOUTH
Welcome to the library’s Youth Services!
Tucked under the eaves on the fourth floor, the Children’s room has something for all ages. From reference books for your school papers, to the latest bestseller, there is a book for you. On a rainy day come by and play at our train table or kitchen, color a picture, or create a puppet show. Find a movie to enjoy with the whole family. Our friendly staff is here to help.
Our Teen corner is located on the first floor of the library and is a space just for older kids with books, graphic novels, four dedicated computers and reference items just for 6th-12th graders. Come on in and browse our collection.
