Welcome to the Lakewood Public Library’s Parent Pages! My colleague Kris Williams and I have been working hard these past few months uncovering the best that Lakewood and surrounding communities have to offer for family fun and education. Some of it will be familiar to you, but we believe we’ve uncovered some gems that are less well-known. Whether you’re a native of Lakewood or new to the area, you’ll find this compendium of information and resources a useful guide along the parental path. So take a look, and don’t make this your last visit here. We plan to update and add on a regular basis so that we remain fresh and relevant. Comments and suggestions are always welcome; simply click the link below and send me a message.
~Amy Kloss, Lakewood Public Library
