What we have!

The Children's Library serves patrons aged 0–12 with a wide range of materials, including picture books, easy readers, chapter books, graphic novels, and non-fiction. It also offers a Parent/Teacher collection for lesson planning and caregiving support, as well as themed Early Learning Kits that include books, lesson plans, and activities.


Norbert the Bearded Dragon

Norbert came to live at the Children's Library in February of 2020 as a tiny lizard. He is no-longer tiny. Norbert spends his days basking under his heat lamp, side-eyeing onlookers, and lounging. Nobert's favorite food is pink carnations and his favorite color is red. You can watch him live on our 24 hour Norbert Cam.
