Programs and special events are advertised in our quarterly newsletter and website. All children's programs are free and open to residents of the South Country Central School District who are in good library standing.
Out of district children who are visiting an in district parent or grandparent are welcome to register for programs as space allows.
Non- related out of district children may register for programs one week after the posted registration date as space allows.

Program registration dates are listed in our quarterly newsletter and online. Registration can be done by phone or in person and is offered on a first come first served basis. Waiting lists are kept for most programs. We are unable to accept e-mail or fax registration at this time. Please call the library (286-1923) if you need to cancel your program registration.
Unattended Child Policy
Children under the age of 7 years may not be left unattended in the children's room or any other part of the library.
Computers/ Printer
There are three computers located in the children's room that are dedicated exclusively for the use of children through the sixth grade.
All computers are networked to a printer and have Microsoft Office software installed. Free printing is limited to 3 pages unless that printing is for school research or reports for which there is no charge.
Children must sign in at the the children's reference desk and limit their computer useage to 30 minutes if there is someone waiting to use the computer.
Parents are not required to sit with his or her child while the child is at the computer terminal. However, library staff recommend that parents take an active interest in, and responsibility for their child's online use.
All users must adhere to rules as outlined in the Library's Internet Acceptable Use Policy. Failure to do so will result in the loss of computer privileges.
