The Family Library Media Center

Website: http://familylibrarymediacenter.weebly.com

The FLMC at Forbes School combines a school library media  center and a family literacy collection housed in a multi-purpose space.  It has  been created to reflect our understanding that
literacy begins with a child's  most important teacher: the parent and caregiver. The Forbes FLMC supports  teaching and learning at home and school, building relationships which support the child along the continuum from preschool to Grade 5.

Families and educators living and working in Torrington are welcome to explore the many parenting and teaching books, DVDs, and CDs that may be checked out of the library. In addition, there are iPads and computers with internet connection, educational games, puppets, puzzles, blocks, and children’s books available for use in the library.

**Please note: If the Torrington Public Schools are closed or closing early on a Tuesday during the school year, the CFLC is closed as well.   We hope you will join us at the Community Family Literacy Center on Tuesday, September 10th!

You can make a difference here. The Community Family Literacy Center Looking for Parent Volunteers Just Like you! Contact sbetts@torrington.org

The Community Family Literacy Center will reopen on
Tuesday, September 10th from 3:30pm - 8:00pm
