Visit with Santa ... And Stay for The Grinch!

Guess who's coming to the Bangor Library!? Drop by for a visit & photo with Santa and stay for the 3pm holiday movie. We're showing the 2018 version of The Grinch!

Sias Saturday Performance Series!

Environmental educator David Stokes is back to answer the question: Which animals are awake in winter, and which ones are sleeping? Through the use of songs, stories, riddles, puppets, toys, live animals, and biofacts, participants will be involved in hands-on exploration of "Animals in Winter."

Hibernation, migration, activation, and winter sleep will all be explored in a fun, educational way. This is a free family event; no registration required.

LitLove Book Bundles

Curious about creepy crawlies? Robo-motion? How to introduce your preschooler to Hebrew and other languages with Sesame Street?

Head into fall with some literary love curated just for you by our Youth Services team. Just let us know what you're interested in, and we'll help you find it! Service also available for educators.

Booklists
Booklists are suggested reading in various categories provided by our Youth Services Librarians, New York Times Best-sellers list, etc.

Reader's Advisory
Reader's Advisory is a service to assist young people and their families, and those who work with children, in selecting reading materials. Stop by to talk with a youth services librarian at the Library’s youth services desks in Onalaska, Holmen, and West Salem, or before and after youth programs at any of the five County Library branches. They will be happy to recommend books and other materials for children and teens with regard to abilities, age levels, and interests.

Contact Us
Youth Services Staff travel to each of the five library locations to conduct programs, select and maintain books and other materials, conduct Reader's Advisory, and provide many other services for children, teens, and their families.

Youth Services has offices in Holmen, Onalaska & West Salem:
