Birding with Babies
Tuesday, October 21st
Alicia Ashman Library
10:30 - 11:15am
Community Room
Oct 21 | 10:30 - 11:15am
Join us for a relaxing birding and nature connection gathering for parents of babies and toddlers (older kids are welcome).
Samantha, a local author and nature nerd with Playful Acorns, will share some birding picture books and lead a relaxed nature walk as we listen and look for birds, animal tracks, and other signs of fall through the fields around the library.
Leslie, a local babywearing expert with LC Babywearing, will bring a selection of baby carriers along if you'd like to try something new during our walk, and she will also offer fit checks for carriers that people bring along with them.
​
*Be ready with all of your babywearing questions. I'll be coming straight from a Trail Tuesday hike!*

Learn about the birding backpacks that you can check out from the Madison Public Library!
Geared toward ages 0-3 with caregivers. All ages are welcome. No advanced registration required. In partnership with Nature Everywhere and the Aldo Leopold Nature Center.

Woven Wraps 101
More info coming soon!
Learn all about the wonderful world of woven wraps! You'll leave this hands-on workshop with knowledge about sizing, different textiles, and the ability to tie at least two carries (front wrap cross carry plus a newborn friendly variation, and a hip carry). We'll also spend time discussing general babywearing safety and where to purchase a wrap.
