This special "drop in" workshop will be offered from 9:30am to 11:00am in place of our regular Tuesday story times on October 17. It is free to attend, and no registration is required. As a designated member of the Family Places Libraries network, we embrace the fact that literacy begins at birth, and libraries can help build healthy communities by nourishing healthy families. Our play-based workshops offer “exploration stations” featuring developmental toys you can enjoy with your child(ren). Our guest, Chelsea Beliveau, a dedicated student/instructor of yoga for over 15 years will mingle through the room to share ways parents and wee ones can use yoga to align mind, body, and spirit - together!
