Libraries play an important role in the education and development of children. Studies show that children who are read to in the home and who use the library perform better in school and are more likely to continue to use the library as a source of lifetime learning.

Libraries offer books, magazines, audio-recordings, DVD’s, computers, software and other multimedia materials. Libraries offer a wide range of other items on loan to children and their families. And librarians are on hand to help recommend materials suitable for various ages and interests.

“When it comes to achieving academic success, a library card provides students with access to a world of both print and electronic resources,” says Library Director Arnie Maurins, “Students can access free databases and online homework help and attend programs, activities and clubs that provide an added value to the educational experience. No wonder that 84-percent of Americans agree that the public library is important to education.”
