Youth & Family

We have many free programs, services and resources for children aged 0 to 12 and their caregivers. Kids can take home a craft kit, attend story times, get homework help and as always, check out books!    

We have two libraries dedicated especially to children. Our Preschool Library is located on level 1 and is an area for our smallest patrons up to 5 years old. Our Grade School Library is located just upstairs on level 2 and offers a colorful atmosphere for kids 5-11.

Learn more about our Youth & Family libraries.

We have study rooms available in each of our children’s libraries.

Events for Kids

Baby Bookworms: This storytime is for families with very young babies through the age of 24 months. Simple songs and rhymes are followed by a book, especially for our youngest patrons! Following the directed portion of the program, caregivers are invited to stay and play with toys, read books, and listen to music with their babies and friends. 

Toddler Time: Our story time for toddlers, aged two and three years, includes a range of fun activities including books, puppets, finger plays, songs, and movement for perfect wiggly toddlers. 

Preschool Story Time: Preschoolers aged three to five years will enjoy books, songs, and a whole range of fun activities. Immediately following this, families are invited to join us in the craft room for a craft they can complete together. 

Homework Helpers is a program led by members of the National Honor Society at Fayetteville High School. Members will be available to tutor students in grades 1-9 on Tuesday afternoons from 4-6. Please bring your homework to the study sessions. 

Summer Reading Club (SRC) is our way of encouraging everyone to read together all summer long – in whatever form that takes! It could be audiobooks, eBooks, graphic novels, picture books, or chapter books – we love them all!  Kids win prizes at certain milestones and special events are held throughout the summer.   

WordPlay Writers' Club for 4–12 graders provides a weekly meeting place for young authors who are interested in honing their creative writing skills. Writers receive writing prompts, discuss tips and tricks, and have fun sharing the projects they have been working on.  

FPL offers additional activities like arts & crafts, robotics, wellness, and more! These programs are designed for specific age groups and are led by experienced youth librarians. Check out the calendar for more!  

1000 Books Before Kindergarten is a program designed for you and your children ages 0-5. The goal is to read 1,000 books to your child before they enter kindergarten! Reading to children stimulates imagination, helps caregivers and children bond and forms good habits. By reading together daily, you are establishing a routine that could last a lifetime!
