CHILDREN'S LIBRARY

 

Children's library

 

Visit the Children's Library and walk into an imaginary town shaded by indoor trees and surrounding a gazebo where kids can lounge and read to their heart's content. With thousands of books, computer encyclopedias and databases and videos to lend, this is one of Brentwood's best attractions for children. Under the direction of a professionally trained librarian, the staff of the Children's Library provide many special programs.

 

Preschool Story times

 
  • Preschool Story Time is held four times each week. Sessions last about 30 minutes and include stories, singing and crafts. Little visitors are welcome every Tuesday and Wednesday mornings at 10:00 and 11:00.  (Please call or e-mail 24-hours ahead to schedule your child for story hour.)
  • Saturday Family Story Time is held each Saturday at 10:30. The Morning Rotary Club presents the program once each month, and library staff present the others.  (Please call or e-mail 24-hours ahead to schedule your child for story hour.)
  • Group visits are also welcome. We can plan a Story Time around the subject or theme your group is interested in. Please call or e-mail to make plans and schedule a session.
