elcome, Parents...
We wish to welcome you and your children to the Priestley-Forsyth
Memorial
Library. We hope that the resources on this page will help you and your
children use and enjoy the library!
Parenting Books and DVDs available at the Library:
We are currently working to expand upon our collection of parenting
books and
DVDs. We have recently purchased books on topics as diverse as
pregnancy,
autism, ADHD, pre-maturity, toilet training, sending a child to college,
adoption, children of lesbians and gays, ways to keep toddlers occupied
and
discipline techniques. We continue to expand upon this collection.
If you have any suggestions for additional types of materials to
purchase,
please contact C. Lynn Williams.
Programs at the Library:
 We offer many programs for both children and adults. For
information
about what is currently going on, or planned for the near future, please
see our calendar of events.

Lists are available at the library to help you find books. If you
