The Parenting Collection is a special collection area at the Windsor Branch of the Jefferson County Library. The purpose of the Collection is to provide an in-depth collection of resources that aid parents in fostering the social, emotional, physical and intellectual development as well as the general well being of their child from birth to age twelve. A basic collection of parenting materials may also be found at the Fox and Northwest Branches. To take a look at resources found in the parenting collection, visit the WebCat Catalog. The Jefferson County Library offers many services and resources for adults involved with home education. Day and evening programs are scheduled for children of all ages. (Check the At A Glance – Programming Page) Tours can also be scheduled for groups by contacting the children's librarian at each branch. A variety of resources are also vailable for you to look at and check out. To take a look at what is available for homeschool assistance, visit the WebCat Catalog.

Day care owners will need to apply for a library card and supply a list of employees designated to use the library card on business letterhead.

Tours can be scheduled for individual classes by contacting the branches of JCL.
