Resources

The Children’s Department has three main spaces. Left of the entrance is the Young Adult area, set apart by a bank of six public computers, with a table for homework and two reclining chairs for comfortable reading. In the center of the room are the fiction and nonfiction book shelves. On the far side of the room is a space for younger children, with a sofa for friendly reading sessions and lots of kid-sized chairs and soft throw-rugs, set beside a wall filled with picture-books. Along that wall are the Children’s Department collections of videos, DVDs and audio books.
