Kids

Our youngest patrons enter an imaginative world of discovery, learning, and cooperative play in our new Kids Room. Natural light floods the space on three sides, with improved access to the updated outdoor courtyard for games, water fun, and nature play. It's easy to find books by age or interest on attractive displays and "face-out" shelving that puts the colorful picture book covers on center stage. The new Storytime Room is bright, cheerful, and flexible. The Activity Room is open for drop-in crafts and registered events. We also have a Sensory Break Room for anyone who just needs a calm environment to get away. The fish tank is bigger and more colorful. And there are family bathrooms, a private place to feed babies, and stroller parking.
