Best library for toddler

Submitted by 401RG t3_10et82f in RhodeIsland

Looking for a library recommendation for my son who turned one back in November.

Google says Weaver Library in EP. But I want to see if parents out there have other suggestions. Located in Cranston, prefer to stay within 20 min drive.

Warwick central library is really nice. Has an entire floor for kids. It has a fish tank, a boat, play hut, puzzles, and fidget toys on the walls. They are also open on Sundays which is a bonus.

Yes! Love this library. Took my kids here all the time when they were little!

Yup. And my little one loves going to the baby story/play time on Mondays

Cumberland library by the monastery is nice. Cool playground, trails etc when it’s warm out too.

Check out the Exeter Public Library. They used to have story time and the library was geared towards kids. There is also a kids playground behind the library. (Call first, I haven't been there in a while)

We went to the central library in Cranston for a “storagami story time” today. It was great! Here’s a list of upcoming events in Cranston https://events.cranstonlibrary.org/calendar/events?cid=15394&t=d&d=0000-00-00&cal=15394&audience=4566&inc=0

Thanks, I really like this one and it’s close to my house. Nice to see they have weekend events. A lot of ones are during the week days.

Central Library in Cranston in the bomb. I moved to Cranston this past summer and easy access to this branch is legitimately one of my favorite things about my new house. :)

Jesse Smith library in Burrillville is a beautiful space overlooking a river, and there is a nearby waterfall and park. They have lots of children's activities too.

Providence Public Library has a great children's room, and they have multiple kids storytimes during the week - two on Tuesdays (one for toddlers and the other for little babies) and one on Thursday for all ages. I took my daughter to their storytime every week until she started school.

The library in North Scituate is nice and quiet. There’s a nice field and tennis courts across the street and it’s just a great place to take a walk too.

We’re Weaver regulars and their programs are fantastic. I believe their Head librarian (Ms Pam) is now in charge of all EP libraries. There’s also some good cafes in the area like Cafe Zara and Borealis for pre/post caffeination.
