About Us

Welcome to the Kids Room!

As you enter the Jones Library through the front door, the Kids Room is your first left. We encourage you to ask us for help in finding the perfect book to take home!

Our collections include an extensive picture book section, books on CD, DVDs, music CDs, and so much more. We offer a wide variety of free programming for kids from birth to age 10. Check out our Teen page for events for 11-17 year olds.

We are here to assist you in any way that we can! Please feel free to contact the Kids Desk at 413-259-3091 or by email with any questions.
