MARYVILLE, Mo. — On Thursday, March 21, the library plans to host a presentation for all parents, caregivers and educators, led by retired teachers Sue Nothstine and Nancy Piercy.

They will be teaching their “Homeschool Tackle Box” method of developing a personal learning profile for individual children of any age (birth-18) based on their personality and learning style.

Registration is required at the library front desk, as there are 30 spots available for adults. Call 660-582-5281 with any questions, or to register for free.

The presentation will begin at 5:30 p.m. in the adult reading area. Adults bringing any children under the age of 8 are asked to stay with their children during the presentation. Children age 8 and older will be welcome to explore the library or play with LEGOs in the children’s area while their parents are listening to the presenter.

Participants are also welcome to bring up to one book per child from home to swap out for a new book. The book swap (aimed at ages birth through sixth grade) will be open to participants immediately following the presentation at the library’s book swap table.

The library will stay open late until 7 p.m. that night as part of Downtown Maryville’s Third Thursdays.
