Children Services
Create, Explore and Learn with Us!
The Library’s Children and Teen Services promotes literacy, fun, play, and life-long learning for children and teens. We offer storytimes, special events and enriching experiences for our youngest patrons that encourage learning to read, socio-emotional skills and learning about our community.
Storytimes
In addition to our regularly scheduled weekly storytimes, your Children’s Librarians often present special event storytimes on various themes to celebrate our diverse community.
Programs for Kids
Weekly and monthly activities and special events give the younger members of your family room to create and develop essential motor skills.
