The Children’s Department of the Guilford Free Library is the place to read, play, learn and grow! Here you’ll find everything for children from birth through 6th grade, as well as for the adults who come with them.
The children’s room was dedicated to a wonderful former librarian, Lana Ferguson, who gave so much to make it what it is today. Head on over to our facebook page to see pictures from this meaningful event.
Guilford residents with babies or toddlers are welcome to join our early literacy initiative, 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten. A fun program of reading to your children. Read books, record titles, receive a book bag, and your children will be set for Kindergarten! For more details, click here. To sign up, please visit the children’s room.
