"A new twist on learning."
The PIE is now open! Welcome to the Fire Station!
The Play Imagine Experience (PIE) Room is a museum-inspired, immersive environment where children play and learn interactively. Located on the ground floor of the Waltham Public Library, each PIE is designed on a theme with a variety of activities, props, and toys that promote learning-based play. Each installation includes STEAM activity prompts, book lists, and music.

Toy Collection
Visit the Children’s Room to borrow toys to take home!
Toys circulate for three weeks. All Minuteman Library Card holders are welcome to borrow our toys, however they must be picked up from and returned directly to Waltham Public Library. Toys marked ‘”available” in the online catalog are currently available to take home. You can place any toy on hold, just like a book!
Career Kits
Browse our take-home career kit collection in the online catalog and find related activities and resources below. Like our toys, career kits can be borrowed by any MLN cardholder, but must be checked and returned to the Waltham Public Library.
