Lincoln Library's Youth Services provides thousands of books for pre-readers through teen readers. To contact Youth Services, phone 217-753-4900, extension 212.
The children's area offers books, audiobooks, music, videos, and computer software to meet the needs of children through sixth grade, but access to the collection is in no way limited by age. There are also children's collections at the branch libraries.
Another service offered is Dial-a-Story. Just call 217-525-5000 to hear a story.
The young adult area includes fiction and graphic novels for teen readers. Young adult nonfiction is intershelved with the adult collection, but is marked with a Young Adult sticker on the book's spine.
