Whatever the cost of our libraries, the price is cheap compared to that of an ignorant nation.

Children's Area Collection and Materials support families in providing language and reading readiness to children in the ages of birth to five years, a critical stage in brain development, vocabulary acquisition, and development of listening and group participation skills, all of which impact future success in school. Additionally, story time programs model read-a-loud skills for parents. Manipulatives (puzzles and toys) develop motor skills as well as making the area fun and inviting to children and parents. As a fast growing, high-density area with a large percentage of families with children, the children’s area will be critical in meeting the needs of Abingdon patrons.
