We are Renovating our Children’s Room!
Here is a preview of the new design and layout of our upcoming children’s room renovation. More previews will be coming soon.
Toniebox Kits
Tonieboxes are digital audio book players for kids with no screens. The players use Tonies or character figurines, which when placed on the Toniebox, will play stories, songs and more. The library loans out both the Toniebox player as well as the individual Tonies / stories. We have several kits available, including: Disney Princesses, Pixar and Disney, Classic Children’s Story Characters and National Geographic. All of these kits are available to borrow through our Library of Things. Search through the catalog for Toniebox, select the kit you want and place a reservation for an available day to pick up!
Story Time Kits
Can’t make it to story time in person? No problem - we now offer take-home story time kits. Each kit has a different them (family, pets, superheroes, etc.) and comes with a book and materials for a craft. Both the book and the craft match the theme of the kit. These kits are available in the children’s room and can be checked out whenever they are available. More themes and kits will become available as time goes on :)
VOX Books
Our children's department is offers a unique book format for families: Vox Books. Vox Books are audio books that live in print books. The permanently attached VOX Reader transforms an ordinary print book into an all-in-one read-along. All kids need to do is press a button to play the recording and then turn the pages along with the reading. These books are available in our children’s room and can be borrowed at any time they are available.
