A crowd of princesses, wizards, astronauts and more descended on Kensington on Sunday, January 27 for the Noyes Fairy Tale Ball. The Ball - one of the Noyes Children's Library Foundation's celebrated "family dance parties" - made every wish come true! 

Check out the slide show for pictures of the Royal Procession; dancing with A-Squad Entertainment; the busy craft table; and of course the delightful Reading Room, with non-stop story-time! Many thanks to all for making this such a successful event and helping us Make MORE Noyes!

Make MORE Noyes!

The Make MORE Noyes Campaign is a major capital project that will transform the historic one-room Noyes Children's Library into three accessible floors, going beyond required ADA compliance to create a truly inclusive experience  for ALL children and families.

Why do we need to Make MORE Noyes? Check out our latest newsletter for great information about The Secret Power of the Children's Book, and about Children's Books that Include Characters with Disabilities. We are carrying the torch for the children of today - and tomorrow!

The Noyes Children's Library Foundation has committed $1.6million to the Campaign, and we're almost halfway there! Please DONATE TODAY and help keep Noyes open for generations to come.

The Make MORE Noyes Renovation Campaign is a public-private partnership between the Noyes Children’s Library Foundation and Montgomery County to renovate the Noyes Children’s Library in Kensington, MD, bring it into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, and make it universally accessible for all families. Without this needed renovation, the Library may need to close.
 
This project will transform the historic one-room library into three accessible floors, working within the 1893 footprint to create more space for early literacy programming and training. The Foundation is committed to raising $1.6 million, with Montgomery County funding the balance of the project.
