Kids' Happenings

Get your fines reduced and help fight hunger with us during the month of April! For every non-perishable, unexpired food item you bring in, we'll forgive $2 in fines from your account (up to $20 total, lost or damaged fees not included). For more information or a list of suggested items, visit our Food for Fines event notice or stop by the library Circulation Desk anytime the library is open between April 1 - April 30.

Celebrate Take Your Child to the Library Day with us from February 15 - 21 (we had so many fun things to do we decided to create a week out of it!).  We have galactic knights, robot building, minecraft creating, storytellers, storytimes, and crafts scheduled throughout the week. If you can't make it to any of our events, please join us at the library to make use of our many kid's play areas (both tech-oriented and family fun), as well as our books and reading nooks and quiet, study areas.

If you have questions about any of these events, please visit our Events page or call the Youth Department at 734-326-6123 (press "4").

Due to construction the youth department will be closed Friday morning from 9:00am -1:00pm (January, 15).

As a result, Preschool Storytime will be CANCELLED.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

The Youth Department is happy to introduce Beanstack to our community of families and readers. This new e-resource offers:

• weekly book recommendations and learning tips for kids and their caregivers that target books in Westland library's catalog; 
• learning tracks that kids and families can follow at their own pace to earn badges;
• book lists and app lists that libraries around the U.S. recommend for use with your family; 
• online sign-up and tracking for Summer Reading Program;
• and much, much more.

Beanstack will officially be open for all library users on Tuesday, December 1st. Set up a profile for your child(ren) at westland.beanstack.org.

Stop by or call the Youth desk if you have any questions.
