Children’s Services

Meet our new Children’s Librarian, Ms. Jen!!

Jen Shuart moved to Ansonia in 2004, and has made her home here since, along with her husband Josh, and their children Max and Reese. Together, they spent many hours in the Children’s Room exploring new books and attending programs. Jen is happy to be a part of the Library once again, and is looking forward to helping Ansonia’s families create their own special memories of the library.

Jen loves to read historical fiction, makes a mean key lime pie, has a weakness for Peppermint Patties and is excited to meet you and your families!

Ms. Jen welcomes you to register for the new and exciting programs that the Children’s Room is offering this Fall…please call or email her at 203-922-3104 or an-jshuart@biblio.org

 

We invite you to take advantage of our new

Library Concierge Service!

Here’s is how it works:

Call Ms. Jen and let her know your reader’s interests, reading level and preferences, and she can pull books for them to enjoy. You can pick up the materials, at your convenience, using our Curbside Service..
