Junior Scholars: Feast
Who's hungry? This is a time of year when we gather together with friends and family and enjoy all kinds of delicious food! There are so many yummy things to choose from—what are some of your favorites? Check out the activities below for food-themed fun as well as for books that feature stories about food and recipes for delicious dishes—there's even one that instructs you how to make treats for your furry friends! And you always have an open invitation to join some programs this month!
Junior Scholars: Changes
Autumn is a time of changes that we experience all around us: the weather is getting cooler, leaves may change color and fall from trees, and there is less sunlight because night comes a little earlier. You may have experienced change recently, too—going to a different school, moving to a new area, or welcoming a new sibling or pet into your family. Change affects us all differently; it can be good or it can upset us, but we find ways to help ourselves adapt and grow from our experiences. Check out these activities and books about different kinds of change, and we look forward to seeing you at a program or two this month!
Junior Scholars: Hispanic Heritage Month
The Library has an AMAZING collection of books featuring stories and information written by and about people from varied backgrounds, races, ethnicities, life experiences, and viewpoints. We love to share selections that demonstrate the range of our collection all year and we encourage you to explore these books with us!
Jr. Scholars: End of Summer Reading & Back to School!
Hello friends! We are wrapping up our summer reading program All Together Now; I hope you've had a great time and have the chance to attend a closing party at one of our library branches!
Junior Scholars: Summer!
Feel the heat? It is "officially" summer! The summer solstice occurred on June 21. This is when the Earth's tilt toward the sun is at its maximum, giving us warm weather through fall. And when the weather's great, there are so many things to do and explore! Look at the books and ideas below, and remember, we have a TON of fun things going on at the Library with our Summer Reading Program, All Together Now.
