Frederick County, Maryland, is pleased to announce an upcoming special event titled “Hatchlings: From Bump to Bookworm.” This engaging early literacy program is designed for expectant parents and infants, offering a unique opportunity to foster a love for reading from the very beginning. The event will take place on Thursday, September 24, 2026, from 2:30 PM to 3:30 PM at the Emmitsburg Branch Library.
The “Hatchlings” program aims to empower parents by providing informal instruction on child development. Participants will receive a repertoire of songs and rhymes that they can share with their babies, laying a strong foundation for future literacy success. This initiative is part of a broader commitment by Frederick County to support early childhood education and family engagement through local library resources.
This event is open to families with children from birth to age five, as well as adults looking to enhance their understanding of early literacy. The program is designed not only to entertain but also to educate parents about the critical role they play in their child’s developmental journey. Attendees will have the chance to connect with other families, making it a valuable social experience as well.
The “Hatchlings” event will be held in the Community Room at the Emmitsburg Branch Library, providing a welcoming environment for all participants. To learn more about this event or to register, please visit the Frederick County library calendar at this link.
