About
Family Play Festival events feature fun activities designed to build early literacy skills for babies and children (ages 0-5 years old). Children and caregivers are invited to participate at various library locations.
Volunteers engage families in playing, singing, writing, and talking activities in Spanish and English. Volunteers encourage participants to practice literacy activities at home after attending the event with items included in take home literacy kits.
English and Spanish speaking volunteers needed. Fluency not required. Volunteers who speak functional English and/or Spanish who would like to practice their skills are encouraged to sign up. Instructions to volunteers will be provided in English.
