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, in cooperation with Bryant University, provides free one-on-one tutoring assistance during the school year.
