The Children’s Department serves children from birth through age 12, their caregivers, teachers, and members of the general public interested in children’s literature. The Collection Materials in the Children’s Department span a wide range, and include over 70,000 items for early literacy, beginning readers, and tweens, educator resources, homework help, computers reserved specifically for children 12 and under, and a fish pond with a fountain. In addition to these physical resources, the Children’s Department provides educational programming, both in the library and on visits to schools and other institutions in Maryland.
