Our Youth Department offers a wide variety of services to the children of Linden and their families.

Our large, up-to-date collection includes picture books, fiction and nonfiction titles, board books for babies and toddlers, fairy tales and folklore, easy readers, and read-a-longs. Stop by the Children’s Room to learn about and sign up for youth programs for all ages including, Terrific Toddlers Story and Playtime, Lego Club, DIY craft club and more!
