One of the best (and free) entertainment resources for parents is the local library. Aside from offering books for children to read, local libraries offer lots of great FREE programs and activities for children.
This month we’re sharing with you some of our favorite picks with regards to Children’s Programs from the Kenton County & Hamilton County Libraries (They send us their listings every month, which rocks). Because not all of us go to the Hamilton County and Kenton County libraries, we’ve included a list with links to other local library systems so you can check out their program offerings too.
