Where is the
Children's Library?

Cool! Exciting. Huge. Beautiful. Fun!
That begins to describe the spacious Children's Library at the Santa Maria Public Library. So many books to read! Puppet shows to watch. Read underneath a leafy green enchanted forest tree with twinkling lights and neon-lit bugs!
Search the colorful wall mural populated with children and woodland creatures. Try out the free computers (Internet Policy). See a show or storytime in the Altrusa Children's Theater.
