Family Learning Day is back at the Vigo County Public Library! Mark your calendar for September 18, 2021.
This post is made possible thanks to our ongoing partnership with our friends at the Vigo County Public Library!
Family Learning day is BACK! And this year, the library is using Family Learning Day to focus on reconnecting your family with the community. They want to highlight what makes the Wabash Valley an excellent place to raise your family all year, which is a goal Haute Happenings will always support!
Family Learning Day takes place from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m!
In 2021, the library’s goal is to use Family Learning Day to introduce hundreds of children and their families to new forms of art, music, and creative activities on one morning in September. Each child will leave with free books and memories of an exciting day! Each community organization provides something unique during Family Learning Day and they already have 22 confirmed organizations for September 18. We think this might be one of the biggest and best Family Learning Day yet!
Did we mention it’s FREE?
