SCPL News

We've scheduled 4 additional virtual parenting workshops led by experts from Parents Place, designed to help families cope during the Coronavirus crisis. The workshops cover a range of topics targeting specific age groups and needs.

The virtual workshops are free, but registration is required in advance for each session. 

Two workshops take place on Sunday, May 3:

This event is geared toward parents of Preschool and Elementary School aged kids. Many parents suddenly find themselves working from home, parenting, and “crisis-schooling.” Learn strategies for creating routines and environments that engage children in learning and promote independence, while also preserving some time for you. 7 - 8 p.m. Register: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/103189885726
