Everything in the Picture Book section is scaled down for our youngest patrons. From the teeny tiny chairs and tables where they can work puzzles to the short shelves that hold thousands of colorful picture books, toddlers feel right at home.

The end panels of the shelves in the Picture Book section, depicting animal mothers and their babies, were finger-painted by artist Pam Atkinson.

Just off the Picture Book section is an outdoor Story Garden, home to a family of hippos floating in a garden pond.
