Welcome to the Highland Library Kids' Zone!

Parents, don’t hesitate to ask for our help when you are visiting the department.  If your child is with you and can explain what he needs, please encourage him to speak to us!

If you need an overview, ask us for a quick tour.  If you need help with the catalog, we’ll be glad to show you how to use it!
