Youth Programs

The Childrens Department is located in the lower level of the Indiana Free Library. Our extensive collection of learning materials, educational toys, early learning stations, and a Crayon Kiosk with four iPads are located in a family friendly environment. We have a wonderfully decorated Storytime room complete with a large screen Promethean ActivBoard where we perform most of our childrens programming. Our print collection includes picture books, easy readers, and board books for infants, a fiction collection that includes graphic novels, nonfiction materials perfect for informational reading and research needs, and several popular titles of childrens magazines. In addition to books, our members can borrow audiobooks, music CDs, movies on DVD, games, and parenting information materials.

Many programs for all ages are offered throughout the year and can be observed on our calendar. In addition to being fun, our programs teach early literacy skills through carefully selected books, songs, rhymes, and activities. Our families anxiously anticipate special events like Harry Potter Day and the annual Summer Reading Program.
