The Goleta Library announces the next sessions of the very popular Play With Me, Learn With Me Parent/Child Workshop series for parents and caregivers with children ages 1 to 3. The series of informational and fun meetings will begin Saturday, January 18, and continue each Saturday through February 15, from 10:15 to 11:30 a.m. Pre-registration is required, and can be done by phone or in person.

The Play With Me, Learn With Me Workshops provide an opportunity for parents to teach their young children early concepts like colors, patterns, shapes and sequences through play, stories, songs, crafts, nursery rhymes, and other fun activities. Parents and caregivers will have the opportunity to speak with a different community expert each week on topics of interest such as nutrition, dental health, common issues in the life of young families and more. Librarians will be there to help find books and other materials on parenting issues as well as fun materials for children.
