Global Awareness Visits Local Libraries
by Gail Tomanelli
Au Pairs from many different countries have been participating in “Little Linguist” programs at local libraries. They present mini-language lessons to the children in addition to reading stories, singing songs, and playing games from their home countries.
The pre-school children attend the presentations for ½ hour weekly. They enjoy learning about other cultures on a level they can appreciate. Parents as well as the children have fun engaging with the au pairs. They know only too well the importance of meeting your global neighbor in today’s world.
