Play Space
The library has a play space in the children's room stocked with blocks, toy cars, a puppet theatre, two colorful play rugs, puzzles, games, and more. We strongly support play in the library as it allows children to develop their imagination, dexterity, and physical, cognitive, and emotional strength. For play that is heavily physical (running, throwing, climbing. etc.), we welcome families to visit our outside areas.
