Children's Department

The Imagination Portal is a fun place for children and their caregivers to play and learn together. Nurture your child’s curiosity and creativity with Library collections and activities. There’s so much to do and explore in the Imagination Portal including a train table, board games, a play kitchen, computer stations, and more! We offer ongoing programs for children of all ages, from birth-12. Check out our event calendar for details on storytimes, and a variety of other programs for kids. 

The Imagination Portal’s collection includes board books, early readers, juvenile fiction, juvenile nonfiction, audiobooks, DVDs, CDs, and video games.
