KIDS
The Children’s Room offers daily activities, weekly storytimes, monthly programs, literacy initiatives, and a variety of materials for ages 0-12.
Did your newborn get a Baby Bag?
Thanks to the James & Christine Laggis Wood Foundation, every new baby born in Ayer receives a tote bag with free board books carefully selected by Children’s Room staff, information about Library programs and services, and a list of community resources for your family. The Ayer Town Clerk provides these bags to families picking up their birth certificates. But if you haven’t received yours yet or recently moved to the area, speak with a staff member to get set up!
DAILY ACTIVITIES
Play Spaces
Build a track on our train table, buy produce at the marketplace, and catch a front-row glimpse of a passing train!
Drop-In Crafts
Every week we prepare new craft projects on different themes for kids to complete whenever they visit the Library.
Scavenger Hunts
Can you find all of the items in the room on our monthly scavenger hunt? If you do you’ll get a prize!
Kids of any age can get a library card. Speak with a staff member to get yours!
