Welcome to The Children's Room at Saratoga Springs Public Library! Located down the stairs from the Main Floor, the Children's Room is not just one room, but several special areas designed for the under 12 crowd, complete with a photocopy machine, water fountain and kid-sized bathroom facilities.
Here you will find books to fit every stage of reading development, like board books for tots, picture books for sharing with a favorite grownup, and easy to read stories for beginners. For readers in grades 3-7, the fiction section has hardcover, paperback and oversized books. Children's non-fiction is found here, too, along with kid-friendly magazines, movies and music. Kids of all ages (under 12) will also like the computer area for Internet browsing and using educational software.
Entering the area, young people and their grown-ups are greeted by several works of art by children's author and illustrator (and Saratogian!) Bruce Hiscock. Other attractions include a fresh water fish tank and three display cases where kids may display their prized collections. Best of all is a devoted staff who are dedicated to helping kids discover the fun of reading, locate library materials and sign up to use the computers.
