Welcome to the Sayles Gorham
Children’s Library!

Tucked away in a quiet corner of the Athenæum, the Children’s Library exists in its own world. It is a technology-free sanctuary designed to help children do what comes naturally: play, be silly, create, discover, and learn. Behind glass doors and amongst mountains of books, puzzles, stuffed animals, art supplies, and games, the Children’s Library is a place that kids can confidently call their own.
