Children's Collection 

We have a wide selection of children's materials available for borrowing, including the most popular series, graphic novels, and literacy developing tools such as leveled readers and decodable text. No matter what your reading level, we have something for you!

If you have a book or author suggestion for our library, we'd love to hear it! You can also browse our collection on our catalogue! From here you can login to your account (you will need your library card number and PIN, which can be provided by staff) to place holds, view your current and past checkouts, and renew your items! 

We can't be open 24/7, but that doesn't mean books aren't available to you! eBooks and eAudiobooks are available night and day. Staff are available during business hours to help you get reading apps like Libby or EBSCOhost Mobile app set up on your device!
