        The Doris I. Crane Children's Department serves the younger members of the community.  We offer a vast collection of books and audio-visual materials, as well as computers with Internet access and POWER Library for the students' use.  In addition, the William D. Berryman Reference Collection is a valuable source for help with school assignments.
        Story hours and after school activities are held year-round in the Dr. Edwin L. Lyons Activities Room.  Story hours are conducted for the pre-school child, while after school activities focus on the older members of the Children's Department.
        Parents and children can obtain their library card and check out materials in the Children's Department or at the Adult Circulation Desk.  All library materials can be renewed over the phone or online.  The children's staff is always available to answer questions or provide assistance locating materials.
        If you would like more information about the services and activities offered in the Children's Library, please contact Maryann Hovan, Children's Librarian, at 287-2013, ext. 225.
