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.
