Children

Welcome! We are proud to be a part of your child’s literacy and learning experiences. We offer a variety of materials, programs and services for children from birth through grade 6. We strive to encourage and enhance a life-long love of reading and learning. We hope you’ll spend some time browsing our links and reading about all that we have to offer. Most importantly, we hope you will visit us often.

Find a comfortable reading nook because your new year is officially booked! The Children’s Department has created an exciting New Year’s reading challenge to help kids and families start the year off right. During the months of January and February read by yourself or listen together. Enjoy a book, an audiobook, or an e-book.

Here is how you can participate:

The New Year’s Reading Challenge runs from January 3, 2024 to February 29, and is open to kids in preschool through 6th grade and their families.

Download and print a copy of your reading challenge here to get started.

Choose a Reading Resolution from the reading challenge sheet. Read the book or listen to someone read aloud. Ask a Children’s Librarian if you need a book suggestion to complete a Reading Resolution. Once you are finished draw an X on the square. When you have a row of 5 Xs (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) bring it to the Children’s Department. Each row earns an entry for the prize drawing.

Entries will be accepted through March 8, 2024.
