Circle of Parents
Wednesdays, 9:30-11:30am
Columbus Library

This program, led by Partnership for Children of the Foothills, is for parents of children from birth to five years old. Come share the challenges and successes of parenting with other parents just like you, while gaining and sharing useful information and tips on how to strengthen your family. Experienced child care teachers provide on-site age appropriate activities, supervision, and fun (including the weekly library storytime when in session) for children up to five years of age, while parents and guardians are busy in group discussion and activities. Healthy snacks are also provided. Enjoy the support of a network of new friends, while accessing resources that you and your family can use! For more information, email polkcop@pfcfoothills.org.

Kombucha Brewing
Wednesday, Jan 21 @ 5pm

Join Lindsey Edwards from Polk County's Cooperative Extension as we learn how to make kombucha!

Each participant will leave with a SCOBY (fermentation starter) to brew their own kombucha at home. This program is for adults only. Registration is required and space is limited. Email Allie at asnyder@polklibrary.org by January 16th to register.
