We are partnering with the Early Childhood Council of La Plata County to bring you 6 free Play & Learn workshops geared toward helping pre-school aged children prepare for kindergarten. Sessions include songs, stories and hands-on learning activities that support growth in early literacy, math, motor and social emotional skills; as well as free packets of resources and activities they can engage in with children at home.
Parents and caregivers are invited to attend with their preschool age children (3-5 yrs old); Younger siblings may also attend but materials are not provided for them.
Workshops are every second Wednesday of the Month at 9:15 am, January - June starting Wednesday, January 8th , 2020.

The ICL is partnering with Growing Readers Together (part of the Colorado State Library) for two workshops. The workshops are for informal caregivers; these include neighbors who provide home childcare, grandparents, and friends who watch youngsters during the day and have an interest in receiving resources to help build early literacy skills in their charges. If that sounds like you, then we invite you and the children you watch (ages 6 and under) to attend. The first workshop introduces ways to prepare young children for reading and school success. The second workshop is on easy ways to make S.T.E.A.M part of everyday play. Both workshops include fabulous, free take home bags. While the workshops are designed to build off each other, you are more than welcome to attend only one if that works best for you.

In honor of being closed for Martin Luther King Day on Monday, January 20th the ICL will be showing the film, “Selma” on Saturday, January 18th at 1 p.m.
The unforgettable true story chronicles the tumultuous three-month period in 1965, when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. led a dangerous campaign to secure equal voting rights in the face of violent opposition. The film also includes the Oscar-winning song, “Glory” - performed by Common and John Legend.
Fresh popcorn and refreshments will be provided!
*This film is rated PG-13 for disturbing thematic material including violence, a suggestive moment, and brief strong language, so the ICL asks that anyone under the age of 13 be accompanied by an adult.
