The Malden Public Library Children’s Department serves children from birth through fifth grade, along with their parents, caregivers and teachers. In addition to great books, we offer regular storytimes, special events, and a summer reading program. Class visits are available by appointment. You may also renew your library books online with your library card and PIN (4-digit number). If you don’t have or know your PIN, a library staff member can help you. For more information, please call us at (781) 324-0218.
