Family Literacy Day at the Airdrie Public Library

The Airdrie Public Library celebrated Family Literacy Day January 24, offering a number of workshops for parents, or care givers and tots.

The different stations include singing, reading, talking, writing and playing, all of which are activities emphasized in pre-school programs.

These are what Maureen Feenstra, youth and children's service manager with the library, says are the foundation blocks to learning.
