For kids this month at your library

Your baby has A LOT to say! With just a few easy-to-learn American Sign Language signs, you can start communicating with your preverbal baby. Caregivers, with babies from 6-15 months old, will learn how to use simple ASL signs to help their baby communicate long before speech is possible. Babies will enjoy music, games, stories, bubbles & seeing other babies, in this interactive class for parents and babies to attend together. Join us as we sing, sign and play our way through learning!

Progressive Community Services and St. Joseph Public Library are partnering to show The Ride Ahead, (2024), 1 hour 37 mintues, for Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month. This movie follows Samuel Habib, a typical 21-year-old, itching to move out, start a career, and find love. But no one tells you how to be an adult, let alone an adult with a disability. Can a community of disability activists help him follow his dreams?

"The Ride Ahead steers clear of any of the old tropes around disability. There is humor, drama, and vibrant connections between Samuel and his mentors, like the late Judy Heumann. The Ride Ahead is the authentic representation that the world needs to see.”-- Jim LeBrecht

For all ages, no registration required.
