Children's Room

The Children's page has links to programs, services, and library catalog. In the real Children's Room you will find over 20,000 fiction, non-fiction, reference, and picture books, as well as audio books, DVDs, CDs and magazines just for kids!

 

The Children's Room is a colorful and comfortable place, with plenty of kid-sized reading areas. There are computers for searching the library catalog and the Internet, and a self-checkout desk for checking out material. The Children's staff look forward to helping you find just the right book, CD, or DVD.

Museum passes are checked out in the Children's Room. They can be reserved on-line (see below).
