Children's Services
We serve children from birth to age 12, their parents and caregivers and area professionals and agencies that work with children and families. Visit the Children's Room for learning, fun and free entertainment through books, movies, music and live events and programs. Let us know how we can help you promote curiosity and imagination in your child's life.
Sarah Newton is the Children's Services Coordinator and heads the children's department. She recently moved from Virginia to Fond du Lac because she fell in love with both the library and Lakeside Park! Sarah has been in libraries for almost six years and is excited to become a part of another great library system. She adores any book that will make her laugh, such as My Little Sister Ate One Hare by Bill Grossman and the Regarding the . . . series by Kate Klise and thinks that one of the best parts of libraries is sharing great books.
