Children/Teens:

 

Parent/Caregiver Resources

Parent Collection

We have a growing collection of parenting books and videos located in our pre-school room. The collection also includes a variety of picture books addressing sensitive subjects. We have created several topic specific booklists to help with common questions.

Group Tours

School groups, family daycares, scout troops, teachers, and community groups are invited to visit the library. Tours, orientations, and special story times are available by prior arrangement (two weeks notice is requested). In order for the experience to be a positive one for all, we ask that there be one adult present for every 6 children for the duration of the visit.
