Want to chat with other parents about the parenting book you just read? Are you looking for a place to discuss the joys and difficulties of raising kids? Join us for Parenting and Paperbacks!

We will be talking about a specific topic. You are invited to read a book and come ready to add to the conversation. If you don’t have the opportunity to read a book, come for the discussion anyway!

For this meeting, we’ll be talking about our kid’s confidence and self-esteem. Books on this topic include The Confidence Myth; A Kids Book about Confidence; The Confident Mind; The Confidence Code for Girls; Be More Confident; The Confidence Code; The Confidence Effect; I Love Being Me; The Gutsy Girl; Helping Your Anxious Child; The Way of Play; and ToughLove.

We welcome kids to come along with their grownups. We’ll lay out some toys, but you are responsible for your child while in the library.

This group will meet on Friday, August 21st from 10:30 am to 11:30 am.

Take on our LEGO® building challenge! We provide the prompts, you provide the creativity! Children will be given a specific theme or goal to create a project either separately or together. Building with LEGO® supports skill building and problem solving for children. All LEGO® will be provided by the library. Please do not bring in LEGO® from home.

This event is on Wednesday, August 19th from 4 pm to 5 pm.
