Early Learning Fair 2025
The Long Beach Public Library invites caregivers and their children to the Early Learning Fair on Saturday, Feb. 1, 2025 from 1:00–4:00 PM at the Michelle Obama Neighborhood Library.
The Early Learning Fair is a free event for families interested in enrolling their children in an early learning program. Families will have the opportunity to meet with local early learning centers and get information on registering for the programs.
The event will feature 3 workshops: an early math workshop, a workshop on social and emotional learning, and a workshop on how to support children with speech therapy. There will also be crafts for families to work on together.
Attend one workshop and visit every resource table to receive a "Ready for Kindergarten" backpack (while supplies last). Children should be present to receive their backpack.
