Family Place workshop series to begin
The Bowie Public Library will launch the fall series of Family Place Workshops starting at 10 a.m. on Sept. 13 at the library.
These free workshops are designed for children ages 0-3 and their parents or caregivers. Library Director Beth Hiatt said there are no lectures, just discussions and plenty of playtime.
Sessions will be at 10 a.m. each Tuesday starting Sept. 13.
The first program will feature retired teacher Alicia Betts discussing early literacy. On Sept. 20, County Extension Agent Melanie Stott will discuss nutrition and on Sept. 27 she will discuss carseat safety.
On Oct. 4, Dr. Kellie Lancaster will discuss pediatric adjustment for immunity and on Oct. 11, Cynthia Robertson will do a program on childhood development.

Use these tips from the Upper Trinity Groundwater Conservation District to winterize your house and well, all while saving a few gallons.
Now is the time to check fixtures in your home for leaks or moisture loss.
