Children Programs

The Williamsville Public Library and Museum offers options for children of all ages. Preschoolers will get a head start on school success with 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten (see below.)
School-aged children can find books labeled with AR points and reading levels. 

Our collection is always growing, and we can request items for you from one of the 500 libraries in the Illinois Heartland Library System!

All young readers are encouraged to participate in our summer reading program, which starts in early June.  Follow WPLM on Facebook to learn about the many special events hosted for youth and families throughout the year. 

Students are always welcome to use our study room, available computers, and free wi-fi to do homework, work on group projects, or just have a quiet place to read.

Dig into a Series

Reluctant readers sometimes feel the burden of "what to read next". 
You can  ease that problem by finding a series a young reader enjoys.

NEW way to do
​Summer Reading

Remember:  Parents can require kids to earn more than one bingo per page!
The bingo pages are generated randomly so different kids can have different bingo sheets if you want them to "compete" against each other.

1,000 Books Before Kindergarden

Statistics show that children who have "read" 1,000 books before starting Kindergarten have a better vocabulary, are more attentive and start reading on their own earlier. For every 100 books read, the child gets their own book to add to their home library. Stop by to pick up a tracking sheet or download the app for Apple or Android devices at:  https://1000booksbeforekindergarten.org/resources.
