Children’s Department

about

Each month, Patmos Library offers a variety of programs and clubs designed for children from infancy through elementary school age. Throughout the year, we also host special events and family-friendly activities that provide fun and learning opportunities for all ages.

Children in the Jamestown community of age 5 or older may apply for a library card. To sign up, a parent or legal guardian must be present and provide identification showing proof of address, along with a signature on the library card application.

A parent or legal guardian must complete a release form to give permission for their child (age 18 and under) to use the Library’s Internet computers.

Parents and caregivers are responsible for their children’s behavior while visiting the Library. Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or caregiver and may not be left unattended in the Library at any time.

The Patmos Library Teen Room is a welcoming space for teens ages 12–18 to relax, study, socialize, and enjoy library resources. To use the Teen Room, a Teen Room Agreement must be completed and signed by both the teen and a parent or legal guardian. The signed agreement must be kept on file at the Library.
