New Children's Books

We are excited to announce that Book Buddies will be returning! Unfortunately, due to today's circumstances, Book Buddies will be a one-on-one virtual program this year using the virtual conferencing platform you and your buddy choose to use. The program will run from July 5 through July 30, 2021. You will meet with your Book Buddy once a week for approximately 30 minutes. If you and your buddy choose to read longer or add an additional day or two, that is fine! Books read can be counted toward the JPL Summer Reading Program.

Older Buddy volunteers - Grades 6-12, Younger Buddies- preschoolers ages 3 to Kindergarten. Registrants will be matched with an older/younger buddy and will receive notification via email. Any questions or concerns, please email the Children's Room- jplkids@jericholibrary.org.

Studies have shown that reading aloud to children is an important factor leading to an appreciation of literature and learning to read. 

Older Buddy Volunteers (Grades 6-12) sign up here!

Younger Buddies (preschoolers age 3 to Kindergarten) sign up here!

Program Registration: Jericho District Residents

Children ages birth to 4 years old: Parents or guardians must bring their Jericho Library card and proof of their child's age (birth certificate, birth announcement or passport) to the circulation desk. The child will be issued a yellow Preschool Program Registration card. This card can be used to register the child for programs online or with the Children's Room directly (in person or by phone). Once the child turns 5 years old they will be notified that they are now eligible for their first Jericho Library card. Click here for program registration.

Children's Program Registration Rules

Because many patrons register their children for programs and don't attend and/or cancel less than 48 hours in advance, it is preventing other children from attending. If you cancel less than 48 hours in advance and/or don't attend two (2) times, your child will be withdrawn from the next program for which they are registered. You will also not be able to sign your child up for the next newsletter's programs.

Getting Your First Library Card

Children ages 5 and up are eligible to get their first library card. This card may be used for both program registration and checking out library items. Parents or guardians may sign up for a library card for their child at the Circulation Desk. Once the child receives the new library card, he/she will be given a gift the first three times the card is used to check out a book. Children's pictures will also be posted on our "New Card Holder" display board.

Out-of-District Grandchildren

Jericho district grandparents may bring their Jericho Library card and proof of their grandchild's age (birth certificate, birth announcement or passport) to the Children's Room. They will be able to register their grandchild in person or by phone.

Out-of-District Patrons

Non-residents may call the Children's Room and be registered the day of the program as space allows. Please provide proof of age for baby and preschool programs.
