About Youth Services

The Clayton County Library System offers family oriented programs and services at each of our six library branches.

Youth Services coordinates programs, activities and services in the following areas:

• Suggested Reading Lists

• Suggested internet sites for youth such as Yahooligans.
• Children's and Young Adult (Teen) sections are at each of our six libraries. Each library also has a special reference collection geared toward youth.
• Fun and educational programs for youth scheduled throughout the year. Please see our Events Calendar for details on specific programs. There are a number of ongoing programs such as Baby Talk! and our Chess Club for Youth.
• Educational software and games available to play on Children's terminals in each of our branches.
• Vacation Reading and Story Times.
• Access to over 150 subscription databases, including Kids GALILEO, Primary/Elementary Grade Searchasuarus and Searchasuarus For Middle Grades
  

For younger children we have a wide selection of cardboard books, picture books, beginning readers, easy chapter books, and some audio tape materials for read along/aloud, a well as general fiction and nonfiction materials.

Please note that patrons under 18 may use the internet computers at our libraries if a parent or guardian gives the youth permission at the time of signing up for a Library Card.
