The Pound Ridge Library has an extensive collection of parenting materials — books, CDs and DVDs — to help parents negotiate the critical years of raising children. The collection is continually updated to include the newest research on child psychology and learning disabilities.
Our monthly New Mothers Coffee offers support to new moms with talks by local pediatricians, nutritionists, dentists and even estate lawyers.
