🎉 Come Explore the Children’s Library! 🎉
Take a video tour and step inside the Children’s Library, where the fun begins the moment you enter from the foyer! 🌈
You’ll be welcomed into our Family Play Space—a bright, family-friendly area designed for learning, laughter, and connection. We’ve transformed this space into a community hub for literacy, early childhood development, parent education, and family engagement. It’s a place to explore, play, and grow together, with helpful community resources always close at hand.
We’d love for you to stop by, relax, and play awhile with your littles—they’re always welcome here! 💛
✨ Don’t forget! I host a Stay & Play event on the 3rd Saturday of every month at 1:00 PM in the meeting room.
No sign-up needed—just come on in and jump into some fun, hands-on playtime with your little ones.
I can’t wait to see you at the library!
~ Ms. Lesa 📚🌱
