Program Description

Event Details

PLEASE NOTE THE DATE CHANGES AS WE HAVE MOVED SEVERAL SESSIONS TO THURSDAY MORNINGS! THE FINAL TWO SESSIONS WILL BE ON WEDNESDAY.

Come play with us at Quarryville Library for our certified Family Place program! Two programs each week, differentiated by child’s age. If you have children in both groups, you may participate in both or choose a different one each week to get the maximum benefit! Our Thursday sessions will be offered in partnership with Solanco School District. Our final session (Wednesday, 10/22) will bring a special visitor, the Library System Bookmobile!

10 am-11 am –  Parent-child workshop (birth to 3 with caregiver) -providing a welcoming community environment with resources that families need to nurture their children’s development to help ensure they enter school ready and able to learn.
