 The
atmosphere of the library's youth area is happy
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.
