Kids of all ages! Check out the list below to see the materials and programs we have for you. From babies' board books to public access computers, we have something for every interest and age group at the Fred & Harriett Taylor Memorial Library!

Books: We have board books with thick pages for toddlers (plus toys to keep them occupied while here at the library!), many, many story books, easy readers for beginning readers, chapter books in both hardback and paperback, interesting non-fiction titles (with lots of great pictures!) and parenting books for Mom & Dad.

Pre-school Story Time! Join us for fun with stories and activities. Check 'Kids Events' link for details.

Summer Reading Program: Keep up the reading habit over the summer! Each summer, a program for 3-12 year olds is offered to encourage reading and visiting the library.

Performers: Several entertaining and/or educational performances are scheduled each year especially for children.

Book Kits: The library owns eight book kits which contain books, tapes, videos, toys and more on a theme. The whole thing is checked out at once and is great fun. The kits we own are: Beginning Math, Shapes & Colors, Music, Circus, Space, Zoobooks, Plant & Seed. Also, we can  order many other book kits from Southern Tier Library System. Check at the front desk for a list of available kits.

Book & Tape Combos: With these sets, children can listen and look at the same time which is entertaining and good practice for reading.

Children's Magazines: Magazines may be checked out or just read at the library. We currently subscribe to: Ranger Rick, Cobblestone, Kids Discover.

Public Use Computers: The library has a computer in the children's room for children's games and educational software. Older children may check out a laptop computer to use in the library. Children must have signed parental permission to use the computers. Children under 10 years must have a parent with them at all times while using the library computers.
