Rainier Valley Co-op Preschool at the farmers market

Come say hi to some Rainier Valley Co-op Preschool parents at the kids tent. We'll be doing leaf rubbings to celebrate autumn, and we'll be passing out coupons for the Columbia City Toy & Clothing Sale coming up on the 27th. As always, kids tent activites are free and fun. Stop by and see us!

At the library

• Friday, October 19 marks the long-awaited return of Play 'n' Learn. This is a fun and educational program for kids from birth to age 5 and the grownups who care for them. It takes place from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm on Fridays in our meeting room. This year Neighborhood House is our partner, providing fun activities. It's a bilingual program — one of the teachers will be interacting in Spanish and English. It's free, no preregistration required.
• When you're at the library, please get a library card for you and your child. And ask for Nancy, the children's librarian. I'd love to meet you and help you find books!
