Outdoor Family Early Literacy Class (for Children ages 3-5 & Parents/Caregivers) In-Person

Parents/caregivers & 3-5 year olds, join Howell Library staff on the library lawn, socially distanced, for an outdoor Early Literacy experience featuring some favorite rhymes, songs, & stories.  The Outdoor Family class is geared more for 3-5 year olds whereas the Outdoor RMP class is geared more for 0-3 year olds; siblings welcome with both. A minimum of 6 families registered at least 24 hours prior to the class is needed for it to run.

Registration is required and begins at 10am on Wednesday, May 12. Please register 1 family member and use this name when you check-in. You are registering for 2 classes: Wednesday, May 19 & Wednesday, May 26.

Outdoor check-in begins at 10:45am, where you will be assigned an area to sit. All library events will be following CDC recommendations and local health guidelines. At this point we are planning on the following for outdoor events:

  • Capacity will be limited
  • Face masks are required at check-in and while walking around for attendees ages 2+ (unless medically cannot tolerate)
  • Attending families stay together, socially distanced from others
    • each registered family will have a 6' hoop to stay in, at least 6' away from others
