Children’s Room renovation moves closer to completion

The Garden City Public Library is moving closer to the end of construction on the Children’s Room!

A great open Children’s Department with two program rooms equipped with seating, technology and play areas for interactive learning awaits patrons.

The new Toddler area includes a variety of brand new soft seating, including a colorful flower-shaped bench at the center of the space, toddler-sized tables and chairs, and colorful “oodle” stools that wobble, stack and rock. An adjacent seat- ing area provides a comfortable reading lounge for adults waiting for youngsters to check out their favorite book or finish up a Library program.

The new and improved Reading Room will focus on reading-based activities and offer fun and creative programs for toddlers and young readers. The lively environment, with colorful, decorative furniture, will be the perfect backdrop for story time programs to come alive. Librarians will also use a new Smartboard to encourage interactive play.
