Youth Services
Every newborn Cantabrigian receives a gift bag with age-appropriate books -- as well as information for parents and caregivers about the importance of sharing books with infants and a gift coupon. Bring your baby to visit the library and we'll exchange the coupon for a special book.

We offer music and story programs for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers; activities and book discussion groups for school-aged kids; special events for families; programs for parents and caregivers, and much more. Check the Upcoming Events below to find out what's happening this week.
We provide a rich children’s collection including books, magazines, music, movies, audio books, games, materials in other languages, resources for parents and child care providers, reference books, databases and computer stations. Stop by to sign up for a library card if you have not already done so.
Call and arrange a group visit to the library--or have the library come to you! Children’s librarians are available by appointment to visit classes, preschools and youth groups to provide information, library cards, book sharing, storytelling and more.
