ROCKLAND — Penobscot Bay Language School announces a new community program initiative offering Spanish language programming for children and families at the Rockland Public Library, each Wednesday (10:30 - 11 a.m.) starting February 1, 2023.

Join PBLS Executive Director Jared McCannell for a weekly free Spanish language program, Spanish Songs and Stories, in the Children’s Room at the Rockland Public Library.

“This FREE community program is perfect for families with children at home (infant, toddler, pre-k and homeschool students and their families),” said PBLS, in a news release.

Each session focuses on basic exposure to foreign language and culture through traditional folk and children’s songs from Spain and Latin America. Vocabulary and themes are reinforced through read aloud activities with children’s books, poems, and other authentic sources.

“This class is great for parents who want to learn along with their children as they start their lifelong language journey,” said the release.
