Children’s Library

About the Children’s Library

We are delighted to welcome our youngest knowledge seekers and their families with our engaging collections and programs. 

COLLECTIONS

Our picture book collections live in the Children’s Library, designed specifically for children ages 6 and younger to explore and play. 

Our books for older children and teens are close to the lobby in the first floor Bow Room, a magical space with tall windows, rows of books, and our beloved Athena statue. 

PROGRAMS 

We offer programs to cultivate curiosity, wonder, and a lifelong love of learning. Browse our Events Calendar for special programs.
