YOUTH RESOURCES
Emporia Public Library Youth Services serves children from birth through Grade 5 as well as parents, educators, and caregivers. Youth Services is a dynamic and creative place where children can learn and play in a child-friendly environment. In addition to enjoying books, young visitors can play with educational toys and puzzles, use the Internet and play learning games on the computers, engage in puppet play, and more. Youth Services offers materials in a wide variety of formats as well as programming throughout the year that will appeal to the entire family.
