Abstract | In this article, the author talks about The Trove, a children's space--library doesn't quite cut it--located in the White Plains Public Library, New York. Sandra Miranda, the library's director, came up with the idea for The Trove, although it took the work of many--from her staff to the architects to theatrical designers and fabrications--to realize her vision. With a mission of creating learning opportunities for White Plains' young children and ensuring them greater success in this world, The Trove is really many different things. It provides different environments, and experiences, for children from birth through grade six. The author gives a brief description of The Trove and its programming spaces: StoryTrove, which is for preschoolers and their families, and The Castle, which provides activities, including tutoring, for the after-school set.
