Welcome to The Loft Children’s Library!

The Loft is a vibrant, family-friendly space at our church where imagination, learning, and play come together. Whether you’re browsing our shelves of books for kids from birth through grade 8, borrowing developmental toys through our partnership with Hand Print Kids, or joining in on exciting family drop-in activities like robotics, cooking, art, and sports, there’s something here for every child to enjoy. Our Baby Song program offers a joyful space for little ones and their grown-ups to connect through music, movement, and play. With a free library membership, families can discover endless opportunities for fun, growth, and connection.

We can’t wait to welcome you to The Loft!


Book Library

The Loft Children’s Library is a fun place to visit for all kinds of books! You can borrow books geared toward kids aged 0 through grade 8. Your free library card makes it easy to borrow books and return them to the library after three weeks.


Toy Lending Library

In collaboration with a pediatric occupational therapist at Hand Print Kids, we offer a free toy lending library to support families who need toys to promote their child’s development. Designed to help with your child’s therapeutic gross motor, fine motor, social, emotional and cognitive development, we also provide tips to promote family fun time. Toys can be borrowed for a two-week period, and toy selection is rotated on a 7-week cycle.
