Children’s services

1,000 Books Before Kindergarten

1000 Books Before Kindergarten is a program to help parents prepare their children for one of life’s big milestones:  kindergarten. Research has shown that children get ready to read years before they begin their formal education.  An excellent way to get your child ready to learn is to read to them.

Any child who has not entered kindergarten is eligible to participate in the program. 

Meeting room rental

Meeting room space in the Forest-Jackson Public Library, when not needed by the Library, is available to groups, both public and private, without regard to race, religion, creed or national origin, who are engaged in educational, cultural, intellectual, or charitable activities.
