The children's section in the library is filled with entertainment for all ages. Toddlers can play with toys while being read to in the special large area just for them. Adults must accompany their children in this area but they’ll have fun too. Children ages six years and under can play on the two-story underwater climbing playscape. There is also a scheduled reading time where toddlers can gather around for a great story.
My favorite place to read as a kid was in the tree in my backyard. This is a lot easier to climb with steps and softer to sit in with pillows. None of these activities require a library card so visitors can stop in and relax with a pile of good books. Don't forget to show kids the huge revolving globe just outside the children’s section, which is conveniently located on the first floor of the west end of the library.

So go ahead, make a trip to the library, have the kids pick up a good book, and beat the heat! To find out what else the library has in store for the kiddos, you can give them a call at 260-421-1200.
