Parent/Teacher
Book Collection:
Located next to the picture
book bins at the Main Library is a wide array of books and magazines
dealing with parenting and teaching issues. If you need suggestions
for: baby names; how to deal with the "terrible twos";
getting your reluctant reader to like books; how to talk with
your teen and much more, this is the place to start.
Toy Collection: Are you planning a long trip or a birthday
party? Are the grandchildren visiting? Would you like to try out
a toy that you've been considering buying? Or would you just like
an alternative to what's on your game shelf at home? The Main
Library has a large selection available to check out, from infant
toys and flash cards to board games and stilts.
Big Book
Collection: These oversized
versions of popular children's stories are real crowd-pleasers.
They are located in the children's area of the Main Library near
the Parent-Teacher collection. An extended loan period is available
for teachers and daycare providers.
