Good morning,
I would like to attend the workshop at the Monticello Library but don’t have anyone to watch my 5 and 6 year olds. Can I bring them with (Monticello Library, August 9th)?
-Chloe O.
Great question, Chloe! Yes, please feel free to bring your 5- and 6-year-olds to the library with you for our how-to-homeschool workshop. You may want to bring some activities and/or materials they can enjoy while the adults chat!
