Join us at the library for 30 minutes of fun!

You and your baby will enjoy books, lapsits, songs and rhymes while we work to build a love of reading in our littles ones!

Perfect for ages 0-24 months.

Please join us even if you are not in current need of this information personally because there are many new parents you know who will. 

This is how you can help. 

Drop in for a brief discussion about the emotional side of new parenthood at 11am in the meeting room. Then share this information with pregnant women and new moms you know personally. 

Break the stigma that prevents many women from getting support. Psychosis is rare; perinatal mood and anxiety disorders are not. They can affect women WHILE they are pregnant and/or after delivery. Anxiety, depression, OCD, and PTSD are significantly increasing and common with pregnant women and new moms. Postpartum baby blues can last 2-3 days for up to 2 weeks, with anything persisting longer signaling a possible mood or anxiety disorder. Baby blues alone affect up to 80% of new moms. Even support during this shorter period can make a world of difference. 

Presented by the Postpartum Recovery Center 

Drop in for crafting, conversation, and companionship.  Bring whatever project you are working on--cross-stitch, knitting, crochet, etc!

Join Eileen Iandola for a Grief Group. 

She will be finishing up the series she has been running with a monthly meeting in April and May on the following dates: 

• Wednesday, April 22 at 5:45-7:45pm 
• Wednesday, May 20 at 5:45-7:45pm 

Since this is the end of the series, it would be best to contact Chryssi at the library to get information about future involvement with the Grief Group, so you can start from the beginning instead of the end. Please feel free to reach about this or other resources in the meantime. 

Questions? Contact Chryssi at 215-355-1183, ext. 104 or guminac@buckslib.org
