Computers
We have dedicated computers in our youth area for children and teens. Additionally, thanks to our FOOLs group, our youth department also offer a family station computer for caregivers and their infants to work safely.
The Acorn Room
Our Acorn Room is located on the lower level of our building and is available for our youngest patrons and their caregivers. It includes play-to-learn manipulatives such as a light up peg board, train table, play kitchen, puzzles, books and more!
