Youth Department Encouraging children to read has become increasingly important in contemporary society. The Youth Department serves this need by providing quality materials from toddler age to young teen, Story Time Programming and the Summer Reading Club. The Youth Department offers film strips, flash cards, developmental toys, videos, read-alongs, books on tape, CDs, cassettes and books for checkout.
Educational toys are available for use in the library play area.
The Youth Department offers a fall and spring Story Time for children 18 months to 4 years old. These Story Times are designed to develop the appreciation of good books, foster good reading habits and encourage parents to bring their children to the library regularly. Special Story Times or tours are offered by appointment to daycares, private schools, home school groups and scout outings.
