children's section

Young readers' zone

The children's section is the part of a library, bookstore, or other venue dedicated to materials for young readers.

It typically features picture books, early readers, and young adult fiction, often with child-friendly furniture and decor: I'll meet you in the children's section.

The term also applies to designated areas in restaurants, theaters, or websites.
