The Wayland Early Childhood Playgroup is coming this fall....
The library and the Wayland Union Schools are partnering to reinstate the early childhood playgroup starting in September. This group will meet the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 9:30 AM at the Steeby Elementary cafeteria, beginning on September 14th. Watch for details coming soon. To register call 269-792-9153.
Do you have questions about early childhood issues, programs, health, daycare availability or more? Help your child succeed in school and in life. Contact the Allegan County Great Start Collaborative.
In the Youth Area of the library checkout the Early Literacy Station for children 2-10 years olds! This is a stand alone computer, not hooked up to the internet. Parents can actually download a child-safe browser with a USB stick for any Windows PC. The Literacy Station was purchased with funds from the Estate of Peg Kettle, a retired Hopkins Elementary teacher.
M.A.D. For Reading
M.A.D. is a group of fifth and sixth grade girls - and their mothers - exploring the world of books. Each month we select a book to read, then meet to talk about it. We always have something to eat and end the evening with a craft activity related to the book. This group will resume in the fall on Thursday, Sept. 26 at 6 PM to discuss the book "Betsy-Tacy" by Maud Tacy Lovelace. Call Jenn at the library to sign up.
