Youth Services programs

Our programs, for children from birth through high school, are designed to foster a love of literature and a sense of community. Preschool programs incorporate the six skills and five practices, identified by the American Library Association's Every Child Ready to Read initiative, that prepare children for learning to read.  You will find our monthly program offerings on our program calendar.  Please call Youth Services at 317-770-3216 (Noblesville) or 317-579-0304 (Fishers) if you have questions about any of our programs.
