Welcome to the Worlds of Wonder

As you walk through the front doors of the library, the children’s department is located through the giant Storybook, directly on your left. Inside, you will get lost in your imagination and find many things to read and fun things to do. We hope you visit us soon!

 Does my child need a library card to take books out of the library?

Yes, your child must have a library card to take books out of the library. If he/she does not have one, please fill out an application at the front desk before the start of storyhour. The first day of storyhour is quite hectic and it is a great help to desk staff if cards are issued in advance. Your child’s library card can be kept at the front desk for the entirety of the program.

 

Can I suggest events for the library?

Yes, just  fill out our  survey  and let us know.
