LOCATION

Mayor

Joseph A. Curtatone, the Somerville Public Library, Somerville

Recreation Department, and Somerville Family Learning Collaborative

invite all interested residents to attend a community workshop and book

discussion with Mike Lanza, author of PlayborhoodTurn Your Neighborhood Into a Place for Play,

a book currently available through the SPL that identifies creative

ways to create vibrant neighborhood play areas for children, and

solutions to help children spend more time engaging in active play.

The workshop will be held in the Aldermanic Chambers at City Hall.

 

Mike Lanza’s work focuses on determining how to create neighborhoods

that allow children to interact better with their peers near their

homes, and to play together outside with less adult supervision. At the

workshop, residents will work with their neighbors and City

policy-makers to determine what we can do as a community to help

children lead connected, play-filled lives.
