Clearwater Library group focuses on moms

A new program is set to begin Oct. 18 at Clearwater Public Library.

Stay-at-home moms are invited to meet between 10 a.m. and noon for an informal get-together.

Library director Chelsea Silbernagel said she's been in contact with several SAH moms and it led to the group, which could be a way to make new friends, start a book club or share recipes and mom hacks in a safe environment.

"I want to keep this program open to new ideas and completely led by the mothers. There's no homework or responsibilities," she said.

While moms talk and take time for themselves, library personnel will keep youngsters entertained. Activity kits, sensory bins, books, Legos, tractors, Play Doh and movies are some of the items that will be introduced to youngsters.

"I want moms to come together and just enjoy one another's time, while also maybe making some everyday tasks easier for one another," she said.
