December Is a Jolly Time for Children's Events!

Wednesday, December 10, 10-11 a.m. Baby Play Meet other parents and babies from birth to 2 years in this social play group. Guided activities will be provided to show adults how playing, singing, reading, writing, and talking puts their child on the road to reading success! No registration needed.

Babies born or adopted to parents in Western Springs can start out with a board book bearing their name and birth date on a special label, thanks to a new program at the Thomas Ford Memorial Library. The Friends of the Library will donate a book in honor of each pre-reader; to have your child acknowledged, fill out a paper form in the Youth Services Department of the Library or online at http://fordlibrary.org/kids/baby
