Each child within an age group receives the same monthly book.

Imagination Library makes sure children receive an appropriate book by allocating them to an age group based on their year of birth.

If your child is too old or does not live in our service area, there are still plenty of ways that you can use your local library to help your child become a better and more active reader. The Library has programming for school aged children and Story Times for children from birth-5 years old. Visit our events calendar to find our programming for children and all ages.
