Early-literacy programming
We provide a variety of developmentally appropriate programs for very young children and their parents. The programs feature local professionals as resources for parents and emphasize the role of parents as the first teachers of their children, facilitate early intervention, and teach strategies for healthy child development and early literacy.

KidZones in every library
Every branch is home to a clean, specially designed, welcoming space with developmentally appropriate toys for young children. For more information about KidZones, click here.

Access to information that instructs as it entertains
Our collection includes books, toys, music, and multimedia materials for babies toddlers, parents, and service providers.

Informed library staff
