The best part? All of it is available for free with a library card!
From story times to STEM programs, books clubs to baby parties, we have a variety of program for children of all ages and their families! Check out the calendar on our website or subscribe to receive our newsletter in your inbox and you’ll be up to date on the latest opportunities for fun at the library.
PAWS for Reading
Is your child struggling with reading fluency?
Do they like animals?
Do they need a safe and cozy place to practice?
Sign up for a reading session with a therapy dog or rabbit at the Burbank Public Library! Twice a month, therapy animals (and their humans) will visit the library to provide support and encouragement to readers practicing their read aloud skills. Reading to a therapy dog or rabbit is a proven strategy that helps learners build up their reading confidence with the aid of a calm, nonjudgmental listener. We are pleased to have therapy teams from BARK and Pet Partners volunteering their time at our library.
