. . . found a good read at a library designed for its pint-size patrons. Located in a small house on a triangular plot of land in Kensington, the Noyes Library for Young Children caters primarily to preschoolers. This one-room library, opened in 1893, not only has the distinction of being the oldest in Montgomery County, but it also is one of only a few like it in the country.
