The Children's Department houses a comprehensive collection of books, audio books on tape
and CD, musical CD's, DVDs, and several popular magazines for children.
Children in grades Kindergarten and up may apply for a library card. Hillside School Kindergarteners typically visit with their classes each Fall to get their cards as a group.
Our popular Story Time programs are offered throughout the year for children ages 14 months through 6 years of age.
Other programs include the Harry Potter Club, craft sessions, book clubs, and more!
