Services
We provide accredited workshops, programs, tours and story times specifically for child care groups. All programs are listed on our monthly newsletters or you can view the online program calendar. Child care providers can get their names added to the mailing list by completing this form.
We also run the Facebook group DBRL Early Childhood Connections. Please join us for notices on new library and local resources, events and news. This space is also a place to connect and collaborate with other professionals working with young children and their families.

An Educare Resource Center near the children’s area in the Columbia facility offers a reference collection of planning materials for care providers.
