The children’s library is a community gathering place for children ages 0-12 from St. Andrew and from the surrounding neighborhood. Neighbors are invited to visit throughout the week to borrow books and play in the library. Check our calendar for upcoming special events or email the office to inquire about using the space!
Libraries are for everyone!
The collections and activities of the Children’s Library strive to embody:
- equity and inclusion
- social justice
- safety and belonging
All are welcome, without exception, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, physical or mental ability, education, income, or family status.
A place to start building a better world
Kids will find materials in which they can see, celebrate, and learn about themselves, their neighbors, their community, the earth, and God. We are curating collections of board books, picture books, early readers, fiction, graphic novels, nonfiction, and diverse and inclusive Christian children’s books. We collect books with a focus on earth care to support our annual Earth Camp!
