For Kids
The Playspace
Young children learn through play, and The Playspace provides the perfect environment. This bi-leveled area, near the Family Education Resource Center and early childhood books, provides safe, developmentally appropriate toys for infants and toddlers on the lower level and preschool and primary grade children on the upper level. The preschool section also features a specially designed storytime area and a child-sized restroom equipped with a changing table. This cozy, family oriented space provides parents and caregivers the ideal environment to play with children, talk with others, or simply relax with a magazine while their children play safely.
Sight & Sound Center
The Sight & Sound Center features listening stations so you can listen to our newest music, a VCR and DVD player to view children's movies and our game centers containing XBOX and Playstation 2 with featured games for children to play. Adults must be accompanied by children.
