Clifford Visits Local Public Libraries
October 13, 2008 03:06 PM | Children’s ServicesMollie Pherson, Regional Librarian
SELCO has partnered with KSMQ and AmeriCorps to bring Clifford the Big Red Dog to eight public libraries in Southeastern Minnesota. The Family Book Event series is a three program series that was spearheaded by KSMQ Public Television, SELCO, and the Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation-AmeriCorps LEAP members. Together, the groups are working to support families and children reading together at home, at the library, and at schools. Program #1, the kick-off program at each location, features Clifford the Big Red Dog. Families are able to take pictures with Clifford, enjoy the special Parenting Counts program for parents/guardians, and the kids are able to participate in a fun activity with the AmeriCorps members. The second and third sessions will continue the focus on social and emotional development.
