Family Place Libraries are a network of children’s librarians nationwide who believe that literacy begins at birth and that libraries can help build healthy communities by nourishing healthy families. The Family Place Libraries network currently includes more than 400 sites in 27 states.
Join us for Discovery Time, a free, five-part workshop for children ages 1-3 years old and their caregivers offered twice a year at the Main Library. In each one hour session, parents will do hands-on activities where they engage directly with their child to promote emotional, physical and cognitive development. This five-part program is based on research about the connections in the brain that need to be made at this very early age, and the role of parents as the first and most important teachers. In this casual and unstructured environment, parents will have the opportunity to bond with their children while also ask questions from resource professionals who will be available at each session.
Select Mondays at 11:15 a.m.
