The Eastern Monroe Public Library received the honor of becoming a Family Place Library in 2013. We take pride in providing a welcoming space for children and their caregivers to visit. We have an assortment of engaging toys, comfortable seating for parents, and a variety of library materials for parents. Twice a year we hold a parent/child workshop for young children, called Play & Grow. Parents love spending time with their children, participating in circle time, and talking with resource professionals. Over the years, several children have been referred for additional evaluation. We are grateful to the professionals who are able to spot potential issues early and make sure the children get the help they need. As the needs of our community change, we will continue to adapt and provide the best possible service to our youngest patrons.
Due to COVID restrictions, the library has not been able to hold its normal program schedule. We've offered a number of virtual programs as well as Grab & Go activities for kids. We hope to slowly add more persons in the upcoming year.
