CHILDREN'S PROGRAMS and INFORMATION
|
We have so much here to offer your child at the Wharton Public Library such as our two children’s computers with many educational and fun games, puzzles and games for your kids to play as well as coloring. We have a wide selection of books from beginners to middle school age children including many popular authors for children to use for school, research and just to enjoy.
There are over 200 children’s movies available for them. We also have some storybooks on CD. With such a colorful, inviting and fun atmosphere…no child would mind spending time here in the library. With our child size sofas and chairs, this place is just right for them. *ALL PROGRAMS ARE FREE; REGISTRATION REQUIRED IF SPECIFIED |

Dolly Parton's Imagination Library
In March 2000, the Dolly Parton Imagination Library began providing free books to children under five to ensure that all children – regardless of their family’s income – are prepared to succeed in school. This program not only supports early reading skills and literacy, but it also provides activities for parents and children to do together to strengthen the social and emotional foundations of young children.
How does it work?
Each month, registered children receive a brand new, age appropriate book in the mail until they turn five. In their very last month of the program, they receive Look Out Kindergarten, Here I Come by Nancy Carlson. To learn more, click here.
In 2011, United Way of Northern New Jersey, Morris County, worked with volunteers and the Wharton community to bring the Dolly Parton Imagination Library to local children. For more information email Kathy Kwasnik or call 973.993.1160, x130.
