8/26/14 - Local children who do not yet attend school will have the chance to take part in early literacy classes from the Howell Carnegie District Library this fall. The classes are offered weekly and run for 5 to 6 weeks apiece. They are divided by age, with specific courses offered for children 6 to 23 months old, two years old, three years old, and three to five years old. Parents or caregivers are encouraged to join their children for most of the classes, but the three-to-five-year-old class will be for children only. All of the classes will feature age-appropriate stories, songs, games, socializing, and other activities. Additionally, the library will offer a one-session parent child workshop that will provide families with information on library services, community agencies, child development, and early literacy. This class is also designed to empower parents and reduce the isolation new parents can feel. Space is limited, and parents must register ahead to time to participate in any of the classes. For more information, contact the Howell Carnegie District Library at (517) 546-0720. (TD)
