Hello! Hello! Hello!
You’ve found the Kids' page! If you look below you’ll find links to websites that can help you learn, or if you just want to play fun games, you can find those links, too!
Learning and Fun is what we are all about. The library isn’t just a place for dusty musty fusty books (You may have heard this, or maybe you’re the one starting the rumor). We have Tablets with games on them (Launchpads), audio books that you can listen to when you don’t feel like holding a book (Playaways), and audio books to listen to while you read along (Bookpacks). Search in the search bar above to find these or come see us and ask a librarian!
Warmly,
The Flint Public Library Children’s Librarians
P.S.
We also have CDs
P.P.S
If you started the rumor that we only have fusty dusty musty books, come see us. We just wanna talk.

Would you like to bring a class or group of students to the library? Visits are arranged on a first-come, first-served basis, and are subject to staff availability. Currently, we have some Wednesdays between 11-3 available for class visits.
Class trips generally include a tour and introduction to the children's area, what you can do at the library, and time to check out books. Preschool-2nd grade visits might include a story time by request. Please email your request to Katie Badgley, kbadgley@fpl.info. Please include the name of your school/organization, the number of students, grade(s), and any other details.
