Children ProgramsThe 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. |
Graphic Novels Count TooIf your child or grandchild is struggling to read you may want to entice them with graphic novels. They can even read some graphic novels to help them meet AR Goals at Sherman Elementary. Books with AR points are labeled at WPLM to make it easier for everyone.

RestartStop by and pick up one of the many copies of the book Restart. It's a great way to start a conversation about how students treat each other. It's a new perspective about bullying for both parents and students.

1,000 Books Before KindergardenStatistics 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 25 books read, children will receive a small prize. At every 100 books, the child gets their own book to start their own library. Stop by to pick up a tracking sheet or download the app for Apple or Android devices at: https://1000booksbeforekindergarten.org/resources.
