STAY TRUE TO YOUR SHELF AS ISAAC LIBRARIES POP UP IN OUR PARKS A new chapter for Isaac Libraries will take off with a novel idea to head outdoors with one of its popular children’s program. With the rise of technology, Isaac Libraries is getting nostalgic and bringing the playing, reading, talking and sharing books outside as part of a new First 5 Forever program – Pop Ups @ The Park – starting from July 15. Mayor Anne Baker said First 5 Forever is about supporting parents to be their child’s first and most important educator. “Parents want to do what’s best for their kids, but sometimes it’s difficult to navigate what kids really need when there’s a barrage of competing messages out there,” Mayor Baker said. “That’s why we’re really excited to be part of this grassroots initiative – something that gets back to basics and empowers parents and caregivers to help their children learn when their brains are developing at their fastest.”
