 |
Join us for our second healthy child screening day sponsored by the Rochester Lions and the Friends of the Library. On Saturday, March 13 stop by the Multipurpose Room between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. to participate in the screening event. The Lion's vision screening can detect the most common cause of blindness in children so treatment can begin before permanent damage occurs. There will also be professionals on hand to talk to you about speech & language, hearing & ear health, and general issues in child development. No registration is required, but the screenings are intended for children ages 1-6 years. For more information visit the Events Calendar . |
