‘
Exploring the Arts’ & public info sessions at Library
Bozeman Public Library offers more than just a vast selection of books, periodicals, and movies to its many pass-holders — it also hosts a number of fun and engaging events open to the public. Here’s a look at what’s coming up.
An info session regarding Montessori Education Through the Developmental Years is set for Tuesday, February 27th at 6:30pm. This gathering is designed to help parents in their decision-making process by informing them about the Montessori philosophy, method and the benefits for their child at different stages of development.
What is Montessori education? What can Montessori education do for my child? How does it differ from other types of educational experiences? In relation to preschool through the elementary school years, these are some of the questions that will be addressed. The presentation will include a panel of experienced Montessori educators followed by a Q&A with teachers and parents whose children are currently enrolled in a Montessori program: early childhood (including Kindergarten), lower elementary or upper elementary.
Closing out the month on Wednesday, February 28th, Rocky Mountain Development Council (RMDC) will present free presentation “Welcome to Medicare” beginning at noon. Are you approaching Medicare age? Need help navigating the Medicare maze? People new to Medicare are invited to attend this session to learn about Medicare basics. As trained Medicare counselors, RMDC staff can help you make wise, informed decisions about your Medicare coverage without the pressure of for-profit advertising. This presentation is open to the public.
Also on Feb. 28th, the next edition of the Library’s “Exploring the Arts” series, “The Art of Tango” with Keri Hagler of Dance Kinexion, will be held at 7pm. Kerie will perform a tango demonstration, as well as educate attendees about the use of dance as a form of communication and more! The Exploring the Arts series is generously sponsored by the Bozeman Public Library Foundation.
