• Phonics Sets/Leveled Readers (boxed sets for different reading levels)
• STEAM-to-GO Kits (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math- based kits with hands-on learning activities and reading materials)
• Foreign language fiction section
• Curriculum collection
• Ongoing reading challenges such as 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten, 100 Books Before Middle School, Summer Reading Challenge, and more! Sign up at wjnlib.beanstack.org or download the Beanstack app.
• Sensory WJN app – a customized app to assist kids on the autism spectrum and their families when they visit our library. Available for free on Apple & Android devices. 

We offer programming for children of all ages such as an annual Summer Reading Program, storytimes, sensory play events, author talks, storywalks, Coding Club, and more. Check out our events page for current happenings.
