Providence Public Library is proud to present its 2010 series of Family Learning Sundays.

Join us...every 2nd Sunday of the month, January - May, as we offer "learning families" varied opportunities to seek new knowledge - together - at the Library.

"In a learning family, both parents and children are equal partners in shared learning experiences," according to Richard Louv, Senior Editor of Connect for Kids and columnist for the San Diego Union-Tribute, who first used the term in 1999.

PPL's Family Learning Sundays are FREE programs, made possible with generous support from the Masonic Grand Lodge Charities of Rhode Island.
