With Thanksgiving bringing family to mind, we’re excited to share a new resource that supports families year-round. As part of our Michael Kusalaba Branch becoming a Family Place Library, we now offer ParentTV, a free online resource available to all library cardholders!
ParentTV provides thousands of videos and courses with content designed to support those who care for children, from pregnancy through teenage years. ParentTV works with leading psychologists, pediatricians, mental health specialists, nutritionists, occupational therapists and parenting educators across the globe.

Access ParentTV through the Online Resources on our website or directly at library.parenttv.com/library/familyplace and then enter your Library Card Number and Library PIN.
ParentTV can be accessed on a computer or a mobile device:

About Family Place Libraries
Family Place builds on the knowledge that good health, early learning, parental involvement and supportive communities play a critical role in a young child’s growth and development. The overall goal of Family Place Libraries is to develop and institutionalize a family friendly environment by transforming libraries into community centers for literacy, early childhood development, parent education and engagement, family support and community information.
Stay tuned for updates as we continue to bring programs and resources to our Michael Kusalaba Branch! To learn more about Family Place Libraries, visit familyplacelibraries.org.
