Find a PAL at the Library
 To build on this research, the RC libraries secured another grant to bring play and learning to the youngest members of our community. This grant allowed the library to build on the research to create specialized stations for infants, young children, and their families to play and learn.

These play stations, or Play and Learn Islands (PALS for short), have been designed to incorporate the critical types of educational play in a library space.

The community feedback from surveys, intercepts, and focus groups guided the inspiration for the themes of the four PALS that have been created:


“Discovery Dig”, “Make it Move”, “Big Build”, and “IlluminArt”.

Each PAL has a variety of hands-on activities encouraging different types of educational play allowing a range of ages to encourage the family to play and learn together. At these stations children will imagine, discover, create, and bring learning to life.

PALS will be spotted in the library, at library events, and we hope will visit local schools. Join us for their debut during National Library Week beginning April 11 and find a PAL at the library!

Even though I concur that the cautionary tale
of "facebook dating" is important, it's surely not new. "Compuserve" relationship had precisely the same problems/issues within the eighties, for pete's sake.
