FAIRMOUNT — The Fairmount Community Library is continuing to offer new and innovative programming throughout the month of May. In addition, we are committed to supporting parents who are home schooling their children with our free monthly homeschool curriculums for families in grades Pre-K, Kindergarten, First and Second Grades. Packets can be picked at the library located at 406 Chapel Drive in Syracuse. Families must register for curriculums, and most other programs online by visiting the library calendar at www.fairmountlibrary.org. All program links can be found at fairmountlibrary.org/children, on our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/fairmountcommunitylibrarysyracuse, or on our Youtube channel, tinyurl.com/fclvideos.
