Join our friends at WFYI to screen their new show, Phoebe and Jay, before it airs! Activities and games will follow. Perfect for ages 3-5, but families are welcome!
Phoebe & Jay is a fun, literacy-focused animated series for children ages 3-5. It follows the adventures of the curiously charismatic 6-year-old fraternal twins, Phoebe and Jay Yarber, highlights a variety of texts that preschoolers encounter in their daily lives–from labels and signs to posters and more–to foster their early literacy skills and help them navigate the world around them. Created by Genie Deez and Thy Than, Phoebe & Jay debuts on PBS KIDS February 2, 2026.

Established as the Broadway Branch in 1924, the library served the neighborhood from a frame house on E. 42nd Street until 1958 when a 6,500-square-foot facility opened on Broadway Street. This aging and overcrowded building was replaced in August 2000 with the current 16,000-square-foot structure on College Avenue that was renamed the College Avenue Branch.
