Annual Costume Swap - Saturday October 1: 10:00am - 12:00pm
Stop by the desk on your way in, drop off a costume you want to swap and then shop for a new-to-you costume to take home. Couldn't find anything? No problem, you can take home your costume if want or you can donate it for us to put out for others.
You can swap and costume for any other costume, makes no difference size, kids, babies.
This year we will be adding a Food for Costume swap - just bring a shelf stable food item and you can swap that for a costume of your choice.

Children's Ongoing Programming:
Rhyme Time on Mondays and Tuesdays at 10:00am
Rhyme Time is intended for Infants and Toddlers from birth through 3 years old. Rhyme Time will be a very loose and easy social meeting where we will share a different Mother Goose rhyme each week as we sing, dance and play together. There will be some language/pre-reading skill building for the older children that are developmentally ready to engage and focus but that is not expected of all attendees. Rhyme Time is much more an opportunity for social and emotional growth as well as being an introduction to a classroom like setting so children can build learning skills and feel comfortable in a more structured environment.
Rhyme Time will meet on Tuesday mornings at 10 from October of 2022 through May of 2023. This is a drop in program open to all. Please see the library's calendar for specific dates.

A maximum of 6 families can register for each F.A.I.R. session where we will discuss the book, read the story, share ideas and thoughts and do a related craft. Each family is welcome to take their copy of the session book home to help build their home library. This activity will be on the 4th Thursday of the month from 6 - 7 pm, starting in October 2022
