About this class

If you're looking for a "Mommy and Me" style class, the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library offers a wonderful Early Literacy program for kiddos from birth to 5 years old. They focus on activities like reading, singing, talking, writing, and playing together, which are all great for building those early learning skills. Plus, they have a sensory kit available for in-library use, which is super helpful for kids with sensory needs. I know finding the right activities can be tough, but this could be a fun and educational option for you and your little one.

Families love how helpful and enthusiastic the staff are at Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library—seriously, Librarian Mike is a total gem! Just a heads-up: the noise from the school next door can get a bit lively, so don't expect complete quiet.

Helpful and enthusiastic staff. Small in-house selection, but the librarians are always willing to put in requests.

This Library is very convenient for me and my family. It's always clean and the two ladies who works the front desk are always polite and helpful. I don't know why you guys change the hours of operation. Because I couldn't see anyone working from 10-8pm maybe 6pm but not 8pm. Anyways keep up the good work.

Great library that is quaint. Staff is friendly. However, not always a quiet place to study, as students at the adjacent school frequently practice music routines in the room next door to the library.

Very nice library conveniently located, with customer friendly employees. I only wish it opened at 9:00am instead of 10:00am. Great place to study and or do research.
