Books for Kids at the Keene Public Library

The Keene Public Library's Youth Department provides books and other library materials for children from birth to middle school.  In our department, you can find fiction books, informational books, graphic novels, recorded books, DVDs, Playaways, and magazines.

Books for middle and high school aged students are housed on the first floor in the Teen Corner.

We also house a parenting collection in the Youth Department that contains materials for parents and other care givers. 

Librarians are always available to offer book recommendations and information on how to select the best books for children of all ages is available online.

We are always interested in your recommendations and feedback.  Let us know what you are enjoying. And, if you find something that you think we should have in our collection, let us know by filling out a suggestion for purchase form.
