For Teens
Letter to My Father Literacy Workshops
Tina Smith Brown, creator of Letter2myFather, believes that relationship (or lack of relationship) with our fathers fundamentally impacts the direction of our lives. She also believes that any resulting misdirection can be effectively redirected through careful, critical and conscientious examination of self in light of that relationship. Through her very mobile, go-anywhere literary workshops she lays a foundation for teens to effectively begin the process of self-examination that leads to healing and celebration!

The library has been without a Children’s Liberian for over a year. We hope to welcome our new Children’s Library on staff in the coming months. I am sure s/he will be eager to offer preschool and school –age programs once settled. If and when additions and/or changes arise, I will be sure to update you all.
Many holiday wishes and blessings!
