In the Children's Center, our goal is to provide your family with enriching opportunities through our materials and programs.

​

​

 

 

The Children's Center is staffed by professional children’s librarians who offer reader’s advisory and reference services to support the growth and development of your children. Here you can find materials appropriate for children, from infant through fifth grade reading levels, including the following:

​

• Books in a variety of formats

• DVDs and Blu-rays

• Audiobooks on Playaway mp3 players or on CD

• Read-along Wonderbooks with attached mp3 player or books with accompanying CD

• LaunchPad tablets preloaded with learning apps for children

• Video games

• …and more!

​

We also have Internet computers for parents and children, and iPads preloaded with learning apps for children. In addition, we offer our Library Learning Lab -- a monthly program developed to provide educational opportunities for learners of all abilities and ages and their caregivers to explore, play, and learn in an open environment of self-directed educational activities.

In our Brighton Kiwanis Discovery Room you and your children are invited to discover, play, learn, and grow in an enhanced interactive environment with multimedia technology and opportunities for creativity. You will also find opportunities to practice the skills detailed in the Every Child Ready to Read program while in the Discovery Room.
