Children’s Librarian: Lauren White
Children’s Room Assistant: Lelania Avila
Our children’s room is a welcoming space for children of all ages. We feature a wide selection of board books, picture books, early readers, nonfiction books, middle grade novels, audiobooks, Wonderbooks and Playaways, and DVDs and CDs. Our book nook and read aloud carpet offer a comfy place to read or play with toys. Don’t forget to check out our maker space in the back of the room. It’s the perfect place to build and create!
