Our young patrons are very important to us and we want to make every visit to the library a happy and safe one. There are diaper changing tables in both adult restrooms. If you are browsing, feel free to use the red, plastic baskets near the front desk. The book drop is open 24 hours for quick returns without removing children from the car. Please do not park in the fire lanes for library visits. You may request renewals over the phone. We are happy to provide printouts of the items checked out on your record at any time.
The Library Trustees and the Friends regularly sponsor presentations for children during the summer and school vacations. These include magic shows, musical programs, demonstrations and storytellers. Registration is usually required. Programs are publicized in the Mansfield News, the Attleboro Sun-Chronicle, and in the library newsletter.
