As previously announced, the Library’s website is moving to a new vendor due to our current vendor closing down. The launch of our new site is scheduled for today, Wednesday, Sept 10 - and possibly into tomorrow. We are keeping our website address (sharonpubliclibrary.org) so this should be a seamless transition, with no interruption to service anticipated. If you experience issues with the website today (Wed, Sept 10) please contact the Adult Services Dept at reference@sharon.ocln.org. Thank you for your patience as we make this change..

From homework to games, here are some recommended websites for children in grades K-5
