The past year has been challenging for families, especially those with school-aged children. We’ve asked our children to change the way they live and learn— to stay home, avoid friends, wear masks—and they did. They adapted to a world of social distancing and hybrid and virtual learning, but it came at a cost: high stress and learning loss.
More than ever, we need to encourage our kids to keep learning—without burning them out. But how? It’s easier than you think with the Library!
