A welcoming place for healthy child development, parent and community involvement, and life-long literacy beginning at birth.
The Family Place project is a national project based on the belief that literacy begins at birth, and that public libraries can help build healthy communities by providing a center for early childhood information.
Children, parents, and professionals from community agencies meet together at the library for socialization, parent education, and family support.
The core program at each Family Place Library, this five-week series brings together toddlers (ages one to three) and parents in an informal, interactive setting with professionals from local agencies to support the role of parents as first teachers, facilitate early intervention, and teach strategies to promote healthy child development and literacy.
Registration is required for each 5-week session. Phone Youth Services at 610 867-3761 x499. Southside has a 5-week session as well. Call 610 867-7852
