Welcome to The Beekley Library's Children's Room!


​In our children’s room you will find a nurturing environment that encourages your child to explore the world in their own way through literature, dramatic play, art, music, movement and nature.  

Come visit us to go on an adventure through a great book, put on a puppet show. be the next great train conductor at the train table, sing and dance your way through storytime. 

Enjoy a wide array of children's programs: from drumming to felting, live animal visits, movies and magic shows, to fairy house building, gardening and tie dying and everything in-between.
