Littles at the Library: a Week of the Young Child Event
Littles at the Library is an event geared toward young children and their families to celebrate the “Week of the Young Child”, a fun-filled week all about early learning, young children, their teachers, families, and communities. The theme of the day is the sun, planets, and all things space to honor the recent solar eclipse!
Please join us to make a space themed craft, enjoy a snack and activity stations around the library, and receive a free book at our children’s book giveaway. There will also be a space storytime from 1:00-2:00.
This event is sponsored by both Peabody and Latham Libraries. There will be another Week of the Young Child event happening out on the Green right in front of the library that day. Check it out! …

NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) first established the Week of the Young Child® in 1971, recognizing that the early childhood years (birth through age 😎 lay the foundation for children’s success in school and later life. The Week of the Young Child® is a time to plan how we—as citizens of a community, of a state, and of a nation—will better meet the needs of all young children and their families.
