Mission Statement for Youth Services Department

of Dunham Public Library

Dunham Public Library’s Youth Services Department provides for the educational, recreational, and informational needs of the youth of our area as well as those of the adults who care for them. This is accomplished in a professional, courteous, and friendly manner in a pleasant environment. It is also done through collection development, programming, and story hours geared toward children and youth from birth through high school, respectively.

We are pleased to offer our patrons the resource, Teaching Books, which is an engaging collection of 234, 583 resources that bring Children’s and Young Adult books to life.

Raise a Reader!

Parents with young children, remember to sign up for our Raise a Reader program if you haven’t yet.  The program maintains 1,000 books at the Library and has divided them into 100 beautifully silk-screened bags of 10 books each.  Using their library cards, parents are able to sign out a bag of ten books for a two week period and then return it for another bag.  The goal is to have 1,000 books read to or with a child by the age of 6.
