Thursday at 4pm
Madison County Public Library
Berea Location

 Are you a parent striving to tread the fine line between love and discipline, trying to discern the difference between too much and too little? We can help.

Join us at the Madison County Public Library, 319 Chestnut Street, Berea, on Thursday, March 11, 2010, at 4:30PM, for Balancing Love and Discipline: a “Redirecting Children’s Behavior” Workshop, led by certified instructor Schuyler Roop. During this hour-long workshop, Ms. Roop will discuss: replenishing your child’s love tank, setting limits, handling mistakes, and being kind yet firm.

Schuyler Roop is a certified parent and teacher instructor through the International Network for Children and Families. She is the director of Growing Peaceful Families, a team of certified parent and teacher educators who use Kathryn Kvol’s Redirecting Children’s Behavior method, which provides a more peaceful approach to parenting. These courses teach parents how to improve relationships within the family unit so that they may create a supportive, loving, family team.

This program is for adults; a children’s activity will be provided during the workshop. There is no charge to attend. Space is limited. Please call the library at (859)986-7112 to register.

Time Traveler's WifeTuesday Night Book Group
Tuesday at 6:30PM
Madison County Public Library
Berea Location

Join us at the Madison County Public Library, 319 Chestnut Street, Berea, on Tuesday, March 16, 2010, at 6:30PM for our monthly meeting of the Tuesday Night Book Group. Our March selection is Audrey Niffenegger’s bestselling novel, The Time Traveler’s Wife.

The Time Traveler’s Wife tells the very unusual love story of Henry DeTamble, a dashing librarian who is, involuntarily, a time traveler, and Clare Abshire, an artist whose life follows a natural, sequential course. Henry and Clare meet when she is twenty and he is twenty-eight. For Henry, this is their first meeting; Clare has known Henry since she was six and he was thirty-six. Their life together will be molded by these paradoxes, caused by Henry’s uncontrollable, spur-of-the-moment time traveling. Audrey Niffenegger’s intense, lyrical prose allows this extraordinary story to seem vibrantly real.

Copies of the novel are available at the library’s circulation desk for those interested in attending the Tuesday Night Book Group.

Join us for light refreshments and lively conversation!
