Join us at the library for an interactive, open play group for parents and caregivers with infants and toddlers. Early childhood specialists will be available for questions and guidance.
This open play group is co-hosted with Porter County Community Foundation/First Things First Porter County and Help Me Grow Porter County. First Things First is a community effort that supports families, healthy beginnings and quality early experiences so that every Porter County baby has the best start in life. Parents are their child’s first teacher – come and help your baby learn!
Portage Public Library features over 33,500 square feet of space for materials and public use. The second-largest branch in the system, Portage combines the extensive amenities of a larger library with the cozy feel of a community branch. A two-story atrium anchors the building, which was originally opened in 1980 and dramatically expanded in 1996. Located just one block from City Hall and the Post Office, Portage Public Library is an active community hub, offering 7 study rooms and 3 larger meeting room spaces that accommodate groups of up to 100. An entire floor of Youth Services space and a variety of programs for all ages make Portage a popular family destination.
