Welcome to Children’s Services

The children’s areas in both of our branches are waiting for you and your child to enjoy:



Space
: Dedicated space to play, learn, explore, discover, and meet others (our seating is comfortable)! We even have a family bathroom at our Graubner Branch!



Toys
: Puzzles, blocks, puppets, stuffed animals… explore terrific traditional items to grow your little one’s imagination, motor skills and more.

Books
: From board books to early lit to chapter books, graphic novels and nonfiction, we have something for all ages and interests. Don’t forget magazines and our international collection! Plus:

100 Books Before Kindergarten
Early literacy is proven to create a love of reading, which can support a life of learning and enrichment. Start your young one out with this custom list of early reader titles, split in two groups of 50. After reading the first 50 books, they can choose a book as a reward! After reading the second 50 books, they receive a tote bag and markers to use at future trips to the library!

Give kids a break from screens! Encourage creativity and cognitive skills through stories, music and learning content downloaded directly to a Toniebox when a Tonie character is placed on top. Many characters and themes to choose from. Available at our Graubner Branch.
