Children/Young Adults

---

Children are very important in our library!  We have a beautiful room dedicated just for them, with books, games, puppets, toys and more.

Every week, there is a new craft project for them to create. 

Miss Danielle will help you find just the right book and she loves to read you stories!  We have Toddler Time and Family Story Time weekly.  Check our calendar for details and special events.

Toddler Time for children, 18 months - 3 years old, and their caregiver is held weekly on Wednesdays at 10:30 a.m.  

Family Storytime is for kids of all ages and is held weekly. Join us for stories, songs, and crafts.  Thursdays at 11:00 am 

A Junior section is located in the main library for our chapter book readers.

Our Young Adults have their own section of the Library.  Grab a book and get comfortable in one of our comfy chairs.  We also have a new gaming computer.

Lego bricks are available daily for our creative patrons.  Lego Challenges are offered on a bi-monthly basis.

We challenge our kids with STEAM challenges as a special event.

This is a cart full of things you can use to build, create and design.  

Many special events are scheduled throughout the year such as: Clifford the Big Red Dog, Dr. Seuss Birthday Party, Christmas Party and more.

Dolly Parton's Imagination Library is a FREE GIFT to our children.  All you  have to do is read to your child.  This program is available to preschool children (0-5) that live in Gila County. Every month a new, carefully selected book will be mailed to your child.  Sign-up in the library or online.

 This is a fun way to help prepare your child for Kindergarten. Reading to a child expands their vocabulary exponentially and it is a great bonding experience that will create life-long memories.

Children that are read to often are frequently exposed to other literacy experiences such as singing, rhyming, and even talking. They have an edge when it comes to being ready to learn to read when they enter school. Research shows that engaging in early literacy activities at home helps prevent reading difficulties later in school and promotes positive attitudes toward reading. Most importantly, reading together is fun! Sign-up in the library.
