Books are static, and multimedia can turn static into dynamic, which can be used as a modern form of books. Multimedia resources usually include movies, CDs, audio books, picture books, auxiliary videos and music. Compared with traditional books, multimedia forms increase the interest in reading and learning. Some libraries also include video games suitable for children and install them on special children's computers for them to explore and use. Broadly speaking, these games can be called educational games. With the rapid development of educational information technology, these games have educational functions that cannot be ignored.

Parents bear all-round responsibilities for their children's education and need to collect educational information of children of different ages. American public libraries play the role of educational information center to some extent, providing practical reference and guidance for parents. From pregnancy nutrition, baby rearing, family education guidance, list of early education institutions, information about places and schedules suitable for children around, introduction of public welfare education projects to list of principles for choosing children's education institutions, and tutorials for children riding alone, most libraries will provide several items.

This information usually appears in the form of free publicity pages and is placed in front of the library or at the service counter for the convenience of parents.

American public libraries have generally established good cooperative relations with library associations, education departments, non-profit organizations and enterprises, or promoted reading and education programs, or used external resources to better serve children.

For example, participate in the early reading promotion project of non-profit organizations "Pre-school Reading 1000 Books". The library will also invite professionals from technology companies to give lectures or lead children to participate in activities.

In terms of differences or characteristics, almost every library has its own characteristics, regardless of its size. Features can be architecture, environmental creation, library resources, services, activities, slogans and any other aspects. Some library buildings adopt specific design elements, some feature a large collection of animal specimens, and some libraries are famous for holding a large number of rich children's activities.

Generally speaking, American public libraries provide children with reading, learning and even playing space outside their families. Whether to improve library services or to promote children's development, its "child-centered" design and service concept are worth learning.
