For children too young to read as well as those who enjoy listening to a story, the Library offers an extensive collection of recorded children's books. These are located in the Audio-Visual area of the Library. Children grade 6 and above can check out these items. Younger children need to have the items checked out by a parent. In order to allow Library Staff time to prepare, groups are asked to book with the Library at least one week prior to the visit.
Visits can include a tour, story, instruction or browsing.
Call the Library for details. Each summer the Library hosts a Summer Reading Club for children pre-school through high school. Children read a quota of books to attend the Reading Club Party featuring a special entertainer or group. In addition, they receive incentive prizes along the way as well as a certificate of accomplishment recognizing their achievement. Notification is also sent to the child's school so that they also can recognize the student's accomplishment.
