Youth Services
Welcoming Every Child to Learn, Belong, and Thrive
At Dyer Library, we create a warm and inclusive space where children and youth – from toddlers to teens – can explore their interests, express themselves, and grow with confidence. Through stories, play, creativity, and connection, we offer free, age-appropriate programs and resources that nurture curiosity, choice, and a strong sense of belonging.
We believe every child deserves to feel supported and hopeful in their learning and development. In partnership with families, schools, and community organizations, we provide opportunities for young people to build the skills and relationships they need to thrive – now and in the future.
Children and teens benefit from safe, supportive relationships and opportunities to be part of something bigger than themselves. We’re proud to offer these building blocks through a variety of free programs like arts and crafts, skill-building workshops, book clubs, and even local nature hikes. We are so much more than story time (and that’s pretty great, too!)
To help ensure a safe and positive experience for all visitors, we kindly ask that children 8 years old or younger be accompanied by a parent or caregiver age 16 or older at all times, in all areas of the library. Caregivers must remain in visual contact with the child throughout their visit.
Please note: The library does not have a public phone, so we encourage families to make pick-up and meeting arrangements in advance with their children.
