The Georgetown Public Library, 402 W. Eighth St., is kicking off its next series of Family Place Playshops — Play, Learn, Grow this spring.

The playshops are designed for children ages 12 to 36 months and their parents and caregivers and gives parents and caregivers an opportunity to connect with other parents, talk one-on-one with local experts on various aspects of child development and early literacy and play with their child.
The playshops are informal, play-based and child-centered. Different resource professionals will be introduced each month. They will speak individually with parents and caregivers, and address questions and concerns they may have.
