Thirty local families celebrated another successful year of Family Room, a bilingual toddler program, with a graduation celebration on June 22. The Family Resource Center of Truckee’s free program is dedicated to the development of literacy and school readiness in both Spanish and English for families with children under 3 years old. Activities include a mix of reading, music, and crafts. Access to a free lending library of English and Spanish children’s books is included. Since 2011, more than 1,300 parents and 1,500 children have participated.
