The Farmington Libraries provide a dynamic and welcoming space for youth of all ages, offering various educational, cultural, and recreational opportunities. The Farmington Library Children's Department serves children from birth through Grade 6, along with their caregivers and those who work with children, creating a hub of activity with engaging programs and resources. For teens in grades 7–12, the Teen Space provides a dedicated area with programs such as gaming, crafting, and test preparation, along with a diverse collection of books, graphic novels, video games, and board games. Visit the Barney Library at 71 Main Street where a dedicated Children's Room and Teen/Tween Loft offer even more collections and programs.
