Children’s Catalog

The Children’s Catalog is designed to help children find their own books and other library materials. Children can search by author, title, or keywords. There are also helpful subject guides to help children find exactly what they want to read.

Class Visits

Come visit the Library with your school! Our primary goal for class visits is to develop and nurture children’s lifelong love of reading, literature, and the library. You must make a reservation for a class visit. Schools and day cares can schedule class visits. Contact Bobbee at (979) 209-5615 to schedule a class visit at Mounce Library in Bryan. Ringer Library is currently closed for construction and is expected to reopen by the end of August 2019. Contact Michelle at (979) 209-5600 if you are interested in having a librarian visit your class or if you are interested in visiting Ringer Library after we reopen.
