New School Year

We got off to a great start with the start of the City College Child Observation classes - at the Mission campus and at the Tenderloin Children's playground. Both groups had a great turnout. All the mothers in the Tick Tock babies class were new, with babies ranging from 2 -6 months of age. We are exploring the arena of a bilingual story time in the Tenderloin (which could be multi-lingual if I were, including Vietnamese and Cantonese in addition to the English and Spanish speaking population). I have begun the new practice of offering library card applications from the start of the first class of the semester in preparation for our upcoming library field trips. This seems a good way to motivate more families to come when we visit the library - so they can pick up their cards (even if they happen to miss the classes immediately preceding the field trip.) Looking forward to a great semester.
