Introducing children to local libraries is a wonderful way to ignite their imagination, support their educational journey, and foster a lifelong love for reading. These community hubs offer a treasure trove of books, interactive programs, and engaging activities tailored for young minds. In this guide, we will explore the unique offerings of children's libraries in your area, highlighting resources and programs designed to inspire and nurture the next generation of readers.
Did you know that you do not need to live in a town to use the library there? Towns accept cards from other libraries that are a part of their network and they can even tie your card in if you are outside the network.
We will work to update this Guide as information changes but you can check the library website for each library to get the most up to date information
The three main library networks that libraries in the greater Plymouth Area are CLAMS (Cape Libraries Automated Materials Sharing), SAILS Library Network and Old Colony Library Network. Both networks allow you to request books and other materials from all libraries within the network and they will deliver those materials to the library of your choice.
Please verify all dates of events and hours with the individual library as they subject to change
