The five-week program will be held in the library's auditorium each Thursday from 10:30 to 11:45 a.m. Feb. 3 to March 3 and will feature toys, crafts, books and play. Community resource people will be on hand to discuss parenting questions and concerns. Siblings up to age 5 also are welcome.

Registration at the library is required and begins on Jan. 20.

According to the library, the workshops rest on the principle a young child's learning takes place within the family context, parents are the child's first teachers and a young child learns through play.

The workshop turns the library into a family-centered environment.

The program is a project of the Oconee, Athens-Clarke County and Middle Country Public libraries. Call (706) 769-3950 for information.
