This month we’re excited to debut a support group for parents of infants 6 weeks-6 months. Facilitated by Marguerite Gilligan, a Child’Space Practitioner and Nurse Lactation Consultant, you can share your experience, ask questions and explore topics such as the emotional adjustment to parenthood, infant feeding, infant movement and development, sleep strategies and anything else that is on your mind.
You may also learn Folklórico dance, make Talavera tiles, engage with a therapy pet, watch a shadow puppet show centered on Jewish folklore, taste chutneys, repair or embellish your clothing, bask in the acting skills of Keanu Reeves, and fold origami.
As always, this update shares a very small sampling of the many programs and experiences you can enjoy free at the library this month. To find out about all the Glen Park Branch Library programs, we recommend you stop by the library to pick up an events pamphlet, visit our website, and subscribe to the monthly Glen Park Branch Library newsletter.
