Kid stuff
Not merely a depository of books on virtually any subject, libraries are driven to turn kids into lifelong readers and library patrons. Most libraries offer a number of activities for kids of any age, from story time sessions for babies and toddlers to board game parties to events based on Harry Potter or Dr. Seuss.
Join the club
The clubs aren’t just for kids. Libraries are a place where book lovers can unite with other book lovers. A lot of libraries host book clubs or guided reading clubs, for kids, teens, and especially adults.
Journey back through childhood classics like Peter Pan, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and more in this adorable picture book about the joys of reading!
What a card!
Kids love to be trusted with an increasing amount of responsibility. They also like having something to call their own, particularly a piece of identification before school IDs or driver’s licenses are a thing. A library card may be the first card with their name on it that they can carry in their own brightly-colored rainbow wallet. They can use it to check out all the books they want, and learn all about the importance of returning those books in a timely fashion!
Guardians of the galaxy
Librarians are the guides and hosts to a world of information—literally. They were Google before it was Google, because they can help you research any topic, providing both places to look online and to recommend books on your point of interest. They can also show you exactly where those books may be, either in their library or an in-network one in the next town over.
It computes
Computers are a huge part of modern life and they’re here to stay. All libraries have them, so use them. If you don’t have a desktop computer or your kids have been begging you for one of their own, head to the library for a safe, free, Wi-Fi enabled internet-browsing experience.
