Welcome to Kids’ Corner!

The online home for all things “kid” at the Olathe Public Library. We’re glad you’re here! Like you, we think kids are pretty important. That’s why we’ve made it part of our mission to encourage reading and lifelong learning, especially for children and their families. The library is a great resource for materials and programming to encourage young readers and learners. On these pages, you’ll find reading suggestions, homework help and the calendar of activities including our regular storytimes. Enjoy!

Staff Pick of the Month


For all the fun and festive reasons of the October season, Just Say Boo! has become one of Mr. Tommy's favorite Storytime reads. The challenge of finding an appropriately "scary" book for little friends to be ready for the October season is a real . . . well, trick! This treat of a book lets grown-ups and kids find the fun in saying "Boo!" No real scares! Just real fun! This Storytime book is better with more little readers and even better when those little readers are in costume.
