With Baby, Toddler, and Preschool Storytime scheduled throughout the month of February, Mountain View Regional Library and Cobb Collaborative amp up these events with The Basics, a series of interactive workshops for toddlers between the ages 18 and 36 months. Over a five-week period, young children (and their caregivers) will connect, learn, and grow from their participation in this science-backed program. In addition to developing reading skills through story, The Basics will provide toddlers a foundation of socialization skills, academic aptitude, and emotional health through five principles of child development. A few of those principles come via exploration through movement and play; counting, grouping and comparing; and the maximization of love. (Registration for The Basics shall open one week before the event.)
On that note, lovers of role-playing games (RPGs)—ages 10 and up—will fancy the three sessions of Dungeons & Dragons & Beyond! for February. Creative and storytelling skills are a must for any promising adventurer wanting to escape into the magical realms of the library. (Provided they pass the dimensional gate of Registration—per event.)
Lastly, Mountain View Regional Library has partnered with AARP to help patrons save money on car insurance and with tax preparation. The AARP Smart Driver and AARP Foundation Tax-Aide are offering respectively, throughout February, a paid program and free service. The Smart Driver program costs $20\$25 for AARP members\non-members; and the Free AARP Tax-Aide requires no membership. However, as the tax service is volunteer run, an appointment is necessary.
Mountain View Regional Library also offer these February events of interest:
- Page Turners Book Group (reviews Untamed in the morning and Remarkably Bright Creatures in the afternoon),Wednesday, February 5th at:
10:30 AM (registration required)
1:00 PM (registration required)

- Art with Ayanna (for elementary children, grades 2-5), Wednesday, February 19th at 3:30 PM.

As always, check out that book, and get your creativity on. Your brain will thank you.
