* 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! |
|
That means we're a community hub for healthy child and family development, parent and community involvement, and lifelong learning, beginning at birth. So bring your children and explore, play, learn, share books, meet other families, and join some of our early literacy and development programs. |
