Children's Services
Children's Services serves youngsters from birth to 6th grade, as well as their parents and caregivers through a special collection of parenting and teaching materials.
Year-round programming includes programs for babies and toddlers, story times for pre-schoolers and elementary school students, bilingual story times, arts and crafts, live entertainment, films, parenting workshops and an incentive/reward based summer reading program.
Our staff are glad to assist children and teens in finding the right material for their homework assignments, research projects, general information and reading enjoyment.
Youth and Parent Services also has a large collection of books, videoprons and other materials in Spanish and in both English and Spanish.
Riverhead Free Library is proud to be a Family Place Library. Family Place is a network of children's librarians nationwide who believe that literacy begins at birth, and that libraries can help build healthy communities by nourishing healthy families. Please visit our specially designed, welcoming space within the children's area and out collections of books, toys, music and multimedia materials for babies and toddlers.
