October Newsletter
Library Events
We’ve been having fun with “It’s Time to Rhyme” during Fall Story Time at the library. We met a bearded dragon! Youngsters meet at 9 a.m. each Thursday in the basement. Story Times continue through Oct. 29. That final session will be the annual Halloween Walk.
The library will host activities for children, teens and adults during the Fall Festival on Saturday, Oct. 24, with crafts, games and stories offered from 2 until 3:30 p.m. It’s all free and fun!
The children’s librarian visits area schools, childcare centers, or will meet with home school groups, 4-H’ers or groups of any age. Make arrangements by calling the library at 785-258-2011.
