Besides the children's programs described below, the Library also has a lively, well-used Children's Area.  There are computers for playing games, coloring activities, puzzles, and of course lots of books with comfortable seating for both kids and adults.

Programs for Kids

During the school year, the Library staff takes to the road, bringing monthly story time programs to every Kindergarten, PreK, and Head Start class in Elbert County, as well as to most of the local daycare centers. Occasional holiday-related programs may be held at the Library during school holidays.   These will be noted on the Home Page of this website.

In the summer, there are weekly story time programs on Friday mornings, and Monday afternoon Investigation Station classes for children in grades 3 and up.  The latter program emphasizes activities that can be found in books and includes games, crafts, art projects, science experiments and other fun stuff.
