* Get ready to leave with a Helping Hand-Stamp * Children love to play at the library, but sometimes hate to leave. If you think your child might have a meltdown when it's time to go (no judgement, we've been there), ask a Children's Librarian for a Helping Hand-Stamp. This ink stamp on your child's hand can become a part of your leaving routine and a reminder that we'll see them again! |
