Children

The Watertown Free Public Library Children’s Room serves infants through grade 5 and their caregivers. We also provide services for educators.

Programs and Resources

Children’s Programming: Check out our events calendar to find more details about our programming. Children’s events are held in person both inside and outside. Outside programs are held on the front lawn of the Library, by Main Street. Always check the events calendar or call the Children’s Department (617-972-6435) for up to date information.

Program Cancelation: If a Children’s program is canceled, the library will make every effort to make that information widely available. The library will update the events calendar and post on social media. Check the events calendar or call the Children’s Department (617-972-6435) for up to date information.  

Book a Children's Librarian: If you are unable to visit the library for any reason and your child wants recommendations, a Children's Librarian can help! Fill out this online form, or send an email to Emily at emiranda@watertown-ma.gov to start the process.
