For Children

Welcome to the Children's Section!

Here's Rhonda reading to the Preschool kids at Crestwood's Pre-K and Notre Dame's Pre-K as well as Zooming with Crestwood's 4-5th grades.

We have new series baskets for easy browsing of chapter books, a section for new books both fiction and non-fiction, easy readers, a board book section, nonfiction for older children and our amphitheater for story time.

*Every Wednesday, Rhonda has Story Time! Story Time is via Zoom at 10 am and in person at the library at 11 am.***

Our Services

Come in for a free 1000 Books Before Kindergarten packet! Books can be read over and over again, so why not count them up? For every 100 books read, we celebrate with our reader and family by giving them a prize, a stamp in their book and their picture (at parental/guardians' discretition) which we hang in the library and put our social media. Check in the children's section for previous readers!

This is a free national challenge which helps bond with a child and strengthens their vocabulary and empathy while helping them get ready for school. Interested or questions? Let us know! 563.547.2540 or rvobr@cresco.lib.ia.us
