Children’s Services
The Children’s Department of the Ventress Memorial Library serves children ages 0-12, as well as caregivers and teachers.
Our resources and programs serve to encourage literacy, spark creativity, and instill a love of lifelong learning.
If you need help selecting books, please call us or stop by in person for lists or ideas of our favorite books! We are always happy to put books on hold for you! Please don’t hesitate to reach out and give us a call!
Wondering what’s going on in the children’s room? Check out and like the Ventress Kids Facebook page, as well as Instagram.
Registration is required for some of our fun programs and events so be sure to read the event descriptions!
What’s new?
We can’t wait to see you at the library!
