The many Archuleta County parents who homeschool their children will be pleased to learn that a new special section for homeschool materials has just been created in the children’s room at the library.
Books on parenting will be added soon, and we already have a nice selection of home-school books including the following:
- "The Well-Adjusted Child: The Social Benefits of Homeschooling” by Rachael Gathercole.
- "How Children Learn,” an enduring classic of educational thought by John Holt.
- "Homeschooling the Challenging Child: A Practical Guide” by Christine M. Field.
- "For the Love of Literature,” Catholic literature arranged by subject and history by Maureen Wittmann.
- "The Well-Trained Mind: A Guide to Classical Education at Home” by Susan Wise Bauer and Jessie Wise.
- "Homeschoolers’ College Admissions Handbook: Preparing 12- to 18-year-olds for Success in the College of Their Choice” by Cafi Cohen.
- "Fun & Easy-to-Use Games & Activities To Help You Teach Your Children Fitness, Movement & Sports Skills” by Guy Bailey.
- "100 Top Picks for Homeschool Curriculum” by Cathy Duffy.
Special event for seniors
 Patrons in their golden years, folks who are over the hill and still climbing, elderly people in need of enrichment or entertainment, and plain old codgers are invited to the library for an afternoon of free activities on Monday, March 15 from 1:30 – 3pm. There will be more than 50 things to do—games, tours, refreshments, items to check out, computer stuff, and more.
Transportation to and from the Silver Foxes Den is available. Registration is not required.
Contact Jodi Starr at the Senior Center or Tessa Michaelson at the library for more information. |
