It's the Kids Korner!
At the Question Mark Public Library, we believe that the most important thing for a child is to be a child. The curiosity of a child, their innate desire to learn and understand the world around them, is something to protect. Because asking why and asking how is powerful. And we want children to step into their power.
We take our job as stewards of children's curiosity seriously, and always want to support them in their research and exploration. We also know that children need to have fun and to play and so we have created a welcoming environment in our Children's section. Please stop by and say hello next time you visit.
