Rachele Harmuth writes: “When children engage in play—whether solving a puzzle, creating stories, or playing a game—they are doing far more than passing time. Play helps children practice important skills that support mental, emotional, and social health. Many caregivers recognize the importance of reading and academic learning, but may not always realize that play is equally critical for building life skills. Libraries are in a unique position to help families make that connection. Libraries interested in participating in the MESH Helps Play for Resilience campaign during Mental Health Awareness Month can apply to receive resources and materials through March 31.”
