They have great toys for younger kids too and this makes it a great library! We love that you walk through a tree and can explore a fairy tale castle and see Arthur all in one trip! Go inside the three little pigs stick house and let those imaginations go wild with whimsical characters. Also, you have to see the mosaic dragon outside in their little park and I heard they are going to be building a garden soon (we are excited to see the finished product.) They have great family programs! Comfortable play area!īundle up and check out the ‘blue swing’ park, just a few minutes away. If you haven’t experienced it, you should! They rotate educational toys and also have a playtime on Friday mornings that is great. Miss Marley is my oldest daughter’s absolute favorite! She teaches a Toddler Dancetime/Storytime class on Mondays that gets the kids jumping and grooving.

Our old hometown library, it holds a very special place in our hearts. While you’re there make sure you drive over to the State Auto’s Christmas Cornerand check out the nativity walk. Around Christmas, there is an amazing holiday train to view inside the library too. There is a topiary garden behind the library which is a nice little walk to see bushes shaped like people and things. The bus is a great imagination play spot! The bus is fun and so is the fish tank and fun seating. Okay now for the kids’ area! We love the engaging staff, they don’t just help you, they play too! They want your child to learn just as much as you do.

There is also a little art gallery up a level from the library. The architecture of this library is amazing, I love feeling so small in this big building. There is something about being in the city that makes this library special like you’re on vacation. They also have a legit treehouse with two levels, a telescope and interactive toys on the walls inside. They have an imagination station that changes monthly (some examples: vet clinic, post office, ocean, fluff and fold). My girls have big imaginations and this library has great places to play out their ideas.
