Introducing: Kids' Clubs

Scheduling virtual programs can be challenging when we're in the middle of e-learning. Instead, join one of our ongoing clubs for kids, and participate whenever and wherever you'd like - as much as you'd like! Access Builders' Guild, Fan Clubs, and more.  

Go to Kids Clubs

Whether you have chosen to homeschool, study remotely, or participate in a hybrid e-learning program this school year, we are here to support you. Visit our Homeschooling Services page to learn more about homeschooling, or explore our free online tools and resources. We also have a large collection of books about parenting, teaching, homeschooling, and other learning concerns between the children's special collection and the adult nonfiction collection. Finally, don't miss out on our virtual and take-and-do library programs either - they make a great supplement to your learning journey. If there are any resources you are hoping to see that we do not currently have available, please contact Lindsey at [email protected]

Please feel free to share with others - our goal is to support ongoing learning and enjoyment for the families we serve.

Supporting Black Lives Through Books

Looking for materials to read with your kids to help them to learn and process current events (and the history leading up to them)? Perhaps you would simply like to expose them to diverse voices and perspectives.  Maybe you would like some advice directed at you - the caregiver - for engaging in tough conversations about race, racism, and prejudice. We want to help! We've put together a list of some of the books we have in our department that feature black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) characters, authors, and illustrators. Keep in mind that this is not a complete list - but it is a list of titles we recommend. You can check our catalog for additional titles. We have also included a link to further reading and resources for kids and caregivers, compiled by librarians around the country. 

TALKING ABOUT RACE - National Museum of African American History and Culture

TALKING TO YOUNG CHILDREN ABOUT RACE AND RACISM - PBS Kids

BLACK HISTORY MONTH RESOURCE GUIDE - CENTER FOR RACIAL JUSTICE IN EDUCATION

If there are items we do not have in our catalog that you would like to see, please reach out to us using the contact form at the bottom of this page. Thank you for your support!
