Children and Youth Services
The atmosphere of the library's youth area is ha
ppy and relaxed with appropriately-sized furniture and book shelves, a special storybook doll house and even a row boat, the S.L.Readmore, to further stimulate a child's imagination. The youth collection includes preschool board books, picture books, beginning readers, and a wide range of fiction and non-fiction books. Reference materials, including children's encyclopedias and dictionaries, are also available. You will also find a special parenting collection for adults with information on growth, development, and children's literature
PLEASE NOTE:
If you wish to volunteer or perform community service at the library be sure to talk to Miss Barb so she can schedule your time.
