Family Place Libraries™ is a network of children's librarians nationwide who believe that literacy begins at birth, and that libraries can help build healthy communities by nourishing healthy families.  The Family Place Libraries network currently includes more than 250 sites in 25 states and continues to grow.

Family Place at Martin Library is a program offered by Martin Library to parents and their children from birth to age three. The parents and children participate in a series of  free workshops. This series of five workshops give parents, families and caregivers the opportunity to play with their children and interact with their peers in a comfortable, supportive environment.

We invite you to come with your child to play, share, and learn together using toys, books, music, simple art activities  and games.  You will take part in a 5-week series of workshops for parents, families and care-givers and children from ages birth to three years old designed to strength parenting skills.  You will have the opportunity to play and read with  your child while you chat with  community professionals about resources of  benefit to you and your family.  

The Parent/Child Workshop

This five-week program involves toddlers and their parents and caregivers; features local professionals who serve as resources for parents; emphasizes the role of parents as the first teachers of their children; facilitates early intervention; and teaches strategies for healthy child development and early literacy.
