Stealth Positivity for Mental Health Awareness Month
Let's pass on some positivity and encouragement for Mental Health Awareness Month. Starting May 1 we will have paper hearts in the monthly book display of the YA section. How can you participate? It's easy! Step 1: Take a paper heart. Step 2: Write your note on the heart. This could be a quote that gives you strength, a short poem that makes you smile, or something else you would like to share with a fellow library patron! Step 3: Fold your heart and place it in a favorite book for the next reader. Step 4 (optional): Maybe nudge a friend to do the same. |

Is your child planning on babysitting this summer? Help your child be the best babysitter on the block by becoming certified through the American Red Cross. Designed primarily for youth ages 11 and older, this online course will prepare students to be better babysitters. Topics include how to provide care for infants and children; how to stay safe; what to do in an emergency; how to choose age-appropriate activities; and how to recognize and handle a variety of behaviors. Students will also learn the basics of starting a babysitting business. The course consists of six interactive modules featuring video, activities, games and tools babysitters can use to build their knowledge and skills and manage their babysitting business. This course, which includes a final exam at the end, takes about 4 hours to complete. Students who successfully complete the course will receive a printable certificate.
