Update 1/1/2025

We are excited to announce that our Early Learning Center at the Main Library will undergo a major transformation beginning in January 2025.

Throughout the construction, which we anticipate will be completed by April 2025, we will be updating the entire Early Learning Center to create a more modern, accessible and dynamic environment. The new space will feature improved play areas, enhanced educational resources and more interactive learning opportunities that will better serve the needs of our community’s youngest learners.

During this time, there may be some temporary changes to services or space availability, and we appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to build this exciting new space for our community. We are confident that these upgrades will help continue to inspire a lifelong love of learning in children and provide families with an even better resource for discovery, creativity and growth.

We strive to continue to provide you with engaging opportunities while construction is taking place, including the ABC: Awesome Black Creativity exhibit.

Thank you for your support as we continue to invest in the future of our community. We look forward to welcoming you to the newly remodeled Early Learning Center in early spring!
