At-Home Resources & Books for Children

The Library’s Children’s Department offers a variety of resources to keep kids engaged at home. Whether you need help finding books, educational materials, or event information, we’re here to assist you. For Children’s Reference questions, email Miss Jennifer. You can also explore our online resources for children, including free children’s eBooks available through Libby.

We also offer a variety of children’s events throughout the year. Most programs are open to Suffern Central School District residents and require online registration, which typically opens one week in advance unless otherwise noted. However, some events, such as “Walk-In” or “Drop-In” programs, do not require registration. If you need assistance with the registration process, please call us at (845) 357-1237.
