Kids in front of stacks.

The Auburn Public Library Children’s Department is a place for kids to learn, grow, and explore. Our collection offers books, audiobooks, DVDs, Playaways, Wonderbooks, and online resources to the youth of our community, infants to age 12, and their parents/caregivers. 

There is still time to participate in our Fall Reading Challenge, which closes at the end of November.  Check out library books, fill out your leaf booklet, and place your completed leaves on our fall theme bulletin board.
