Children Programs and Services

The Glocester Libraries seek to connect children to reading by engaging young readers with a wide variety of books, audiobooks, DVDs, CDs, and reading kits. The Children's Librarian helps develop a love of reading  with Story Time programs, for children, ages 8 months through Kindergarten;

Both libraries offer homework help, provide research assistance for school projects, and the Harmony Library, in cooperation with Bryant University, provides free one-on-one tutoring assistance during the school year.

Boy and Girl Scout groups are welcome to use the Community Rooms at both locations and often earn merit library and reading badges by participating in programs offered by the Youth Services Librarian and the Reference/Technology Librarian..

Fall, 2020 Story Times

The Glocester Libraries, the Glocester Manton Library and the Harmony Library, are continuing our tradition of Story Times for children, but this fall, due to COVID-19, the Story Times are virtual!

Miss Kat, our Children's Librarian, is now taking her Story Times on Facebook at our new Facebook page for Story Timers, Glocester Libraries. 

For toddlers, Miss Annie returns once again with videos each week right here and on our YouTube Channel, Glocester Libraries.

So, join us live each week!

Crafts To Go!

Crafts-to-Go! have become an important part of the Glocester Libraries' outreach to children and their families. 

Each week, the Children's staff craft kits that parents can pick up during library hours. These crafts have become so popular that they are available on a first-come, first-served basis. You will find a list of the crafts listed weekly on our K-5 Program Page,
