The festival will feature special programming throughout the day in the Children's Library on the main level and the library's downstairs meeting rooms. Priority seating in program sessions is for children. In meeting rooms with limited capacity, festival volunteers may ask parents to wait outside the room so that all available seats can be used by kids. If your child needs a parent or adult with them to safely enjoy programming, we will happily accommodate.
