About the Children’s Library and Links

WELCOME SPRING !

The Children’s Library was opened to the general public on January 25th, 2003.  The Children’s Library contains books, audiobooks, and magazines for children 13 years and under.  There is a study room available for children to do homework or tutoring.  We also have computers for children to use.   To use the computers, a child must have his/her library card available, with fines under $5.00.
