Meeting monthly throughout the 2019-20 school year at the Barrington Area Library, each Conversation Circle consists of parents, caregivers, educators, and community members from the Barrington area and two mental health professionals who will provide support, guidance, and expertise to group members.  

The supportive learning environment of the Middle School Conversation Circle provides information, tools, resources, and strategies from the knowledge and experience of the facilitators combined with the perspective and support that comes from the connection to other members.  Together, the group discusses ways to prepare children and youth to successfully navigate the complex world of today and the future.  

In order to strengthen the connections between members of the Conversation Circle as well as maximize the learning experience, member attendance at each monthly meeting is encouraged, but is not required.

BStrong Together and the Barrington Area Library are happy to announce the creation of a new weekly virtual parenting series entitled “Best We Can” Parenting to be held on Thursdays at 1:00-1:30 pm starting April 16th.  We know that during this unusual time, we are all doing the best we can, but sometimes we could use some support. Join us online for tips, tools, and a chance to ask questions of local experts. We know you’re busy; so we’ll keep it short. 

All sessions are open to all parents. However, some are aimed at specific ages or situations.

Contact Community Engagement Librarian Sam or Youth Services Librarian Demitra if you have suggestions for future sessions.

Registration links for individual meetings coming soon.  Once you register, you will receive a link and password to join the session.
