* Get ready to leave with a Helping Hand-Stamp * Children love to play at the library, but sometimes struggle to leave. We offer a new strategy if a child might melt down when the fun has to end: a Helping Hand-Stamp. To help a child transition (we don't judge - been there with our own kids!), we can use an ink stamp on a child's hand when it's time to go. Just ask at the Children's Desk. |
