“We work in conjunction with the Help Me Grow organization out of Utah Valley, their actual organization offers parents referrals, it’s like a networking that they have,” Librarian, Norma Procarione. “What they do is bring parents and children together in a location where they can learn about this organization and they teach parents the fun things of play, the importance and value of play.” This is the fifth year that the library has worked with this organization which supports prenatal parents, as well as, families with children up to the age of 8 at no cost and offered in both English and Spanish. The purpose of the program is assist parents with the knowledge and resources needed to make a difference in their child’s life.
On the day of the event the Cat in The Hat will be in attendance in honor of Dr Seuss’ birthday and will celebrate with all of the children. “So, we are hoping for good weather so we can be outside. We’ll have some popcorn, drinks, books to read. I’ve been doing some weeding at my facility so we thought it would be really cool if every child could go home with a book,” said Procarione. Parents can plan on activities ranging from building blocks, obstacle course, a parachute game, several corporative and motor skill games.
