Discovery Zone

Welcome to the Discovery Zone!

A sensory play area for early learners and neurodivergent patrons.

We offer two types of service:

>The room is open on a drop-in basis from 10-12 noon Tuesdays through Thursdays for preschool families (or when two staff are on the floor on other days).

>In the afternoon, families can reserve the room for an hour at a time by visiting the circulation desk or calling 269-273-8666.

On your first visit, you will be asked to fill out this usage agreement.

There is a maximum occupancy of 8.

The Discovery Zone was made possible by a generous donation from KADANT.
