For babies, toddlers and children

Our collections offer a choice of books ranging from board books for babies, to easy readers (items are graded to assist with selecting material suitable to different reading levels), and collections of novels for all ages right up to those specifically selected for young adults. Free e-resources are available for this age group via several sites and the libraries also have puzzles and games, puppets, comics, audio-books, and DVDs available for loan. Parents are responsible for selecting books and other items that they consider suitable for their child.
