In addition to the face to face resources of community professionals within our centre, the YMCA Early Years Centre has a Lending Library of adult resources,children's books, dual language and "my first" kits available for participants.  The Jean Grimm Memorial Library supports parents and caregivers by providing access to a variety of topics allowing them to make informed choices for their children and families.  

The Jean Grimm Memorial Library was created in 1993 to honour Jean's love of reading. Jean was a long time volunteer with the AR Kaufman YMCA Resource Centre and thoroughly enjoyed sharing her love of reading with the children. Over the years, The Grimm Family continues to support this library and the resources and books available continue to grow, providing more families the opportunity to sit together in our Family Room and enjoy a good book.  

Our Regional Early Years Website, earlyyearsinfo.ca contains an online-library of articles and community and topical links, providing parents and caregivers with access to up to date information at their convenience.
