The Youth Services Department at Peter White Public Library provides services, programming and collection development for children, teens and families. Staff offer weekly story times for babies and preschoolers, after school programming for elementary students, and junior teen and teen library board monthly meetings.

In addition to programs, staff members stay well-versed in youth literature, and offer reader’s advisory to help find the next great book or information for a research paper.

If you love books, you’re in good company in Youth Services. Stop by, call or contact Y.S. online, or sign up for the Weekly Youth Services Newsletter.
