Children’s Services
The Degenstein Community Library values reading, education, and lifelong learning. We recognize that children learn through experiences, opportunities, and formal education. The Degenstein Community Library encourages a love of reading, but also offers a number of events and programming for children to develop literacy, social, and motor skills. Our Family Place component builds on the knowledge that good health, early learning, parental involvement and supportive communities play a critical role in young children’s growth and development.
