Kids' Library Card

An added benefit to giving a child their own library card is access to educational exercises on the internet.  The Snohomish County Libraries offer educational games and tools from pre-k through Grade 5.  In checking out the pre-K material, we found our 3 year old granddaughter enjoying it immensely, and learning.  We've heard so much about ABCmouse.com, but can't imagine anything it can offer beyond the Library's offering and there is no cost.  Mobile access is also available.

The Compassion Experience

The Compassion Experience is coming to the Everett area September 18-20, hosted by Canyon Creek Church. This free event will bring visitors on an interactive journey through the lives of children living in the Philippines and the Dominican Republic.
Through 1,700 square feet of interactive exhibit space, visitors will step inside daily life in a developing country — visiting homes, markets and schools — without getting on a plane. Through the use of an iPod and headset, each tour is guided by a child whose story starts in poverty but ends in hope.
The event is an excellent opportunity to experience another culture and better understand the realities of global poverty. Don’t miss this life-changing event brought to you by Compassion International and Canyon Creek Church.
The Compassion Experience is free and appropriate for all ages.
