Children's Room and Collection

   

                    

The Children’s collection is housed in the Carol and Les Ballard Annex at 10 Redwood Street across from the main building. This wonderful Victorian era house allows plenty of space for children to relax, look at books, sit for story hours and even sing and dance as there is no “shushing” here!

With a grand array of board books for toddlers, picture books for pre-school age kids and first readers/young readers for elementary school age children, we satisfy many different levels and tastes. Our growing non-fiction collection for younger children is also housed in this building, and the resource/professional collection is available for questions and literature help. We also have videos

and audios to check out.

Parents and grandparents looking for well-remembered stories from their youth often come in to comb the upper shelves of “old” volumes. Children's classics bring sighs of nostalgia.

We are always adding new things to our library to make your visit a happy one. Our new wooden book display

(just the right height for little ones), our new World Globe, and our new DVD collection of Classic Children's

Literature and well-loved stories will be a big hit with your library lover.

 

"Magee", our library bear, greets visitors to our library "house"
