One of the hardest conversations an adult child must have with a parent involves the decision to move to an assisted living or nursing home situation.  In the month of September, our display featured books about all aspects of elder care, from assisting aging parents to choosing the right nursing home.The North Shore Senior Center compiles a list of assisted living places in the local area that you can also look at in the library. 

The large colorful panels in the Youth Services Department with wheels and strings and mirrors galore have been attracting the younger children to play. This large toy is an early literacy center that supports skills that are essential for reading readiness. While children play they are learning skills that will help them become ready to read. Suggestions of activities for parents to do with their children are written on the panels to help parents with these early skills.
