Exciting updates are coming to Kids’ World this fall, creating additional developmentally appropriate, interactive learning zones for kids.
These updates will include:
- NEW: Everbright lightboard and floor projection system
- An enclosed play area for infants, early walkers and their caregivers
- Improved area for preschooler dramatic play
- Defined area for grades K-3 hands-on exploration
- Defined area for tweens
“The vision for the Kids’ World refresh is to create flexible, interactive and experiential learning zones dedicated to specific age groups with resources and activities to meet their developmental needs and interests,” said Trixie Dantis, Youth Services Manager. “We are committed to offering equal access to learning and socialization opportunities, through free, open-ended exploratory play and learning opportunities for children, their caregivers and families.”
The library is grateful to the Library Foundation and Friends of the Library for their support of the Kids’ World refresh.
In addition to these enhancements, Kids’ World improvements will include:
- An accessible, all-gender restroom
- Wellness room for nursing or those in need of a calming/private space
- New snack area
- Sinks in the Lindsey Room
This work will be completed in phases, and some service interruptions may occur. Youth Services staff will be available to assist in getting items for customers from any area that may be temporarily unavailable due to improvements and some programs will be moved to other rooms in the library.
