About the Children's Department

​

The Children's Department is a place for FAMILIES! In 2009 we were designated a "Family Place Library"! Family Place is a national initiative that expands the traditional role of children's library services by supporting the family and you, the parent, as your child's first and most important teacher.

INQUIRE WITHIN

Citizens Library was chosen to partner with WQED, the local PBS station. As partners, we host many fun PBS character themed programs, and events throughout the year.

"Brenda Evans Reading Corner"

Brenda Evans was our dear friend and colleague who passed away in March 2011. Because of the generosity and kindness from our friends and patrons, there is a new reading area in the Children's Department, and a new collection of books about the important people and issues in African-American history. Stop in the Children's Department to check out the "Brenda Evans Reading Corner" and the new "Brenda Evans Black History Collection." Take time to sit and read a book (or two) in the comfy chairs, and pass on the joy of reading and the gift of a good story to the children in your life...Brenda would be so pleased!
