Miss C's Corner
 Leaves are falling, mornings are getting chillier, and we're all settling into the rhythm of a new school year. I've been enjoying a small break from programming following an incredibly fun-packed summer, but I'm excited to get back into the swing of things as we try out some new activities for the Fall and Winter!
 
By the way - how are your library passports looking? Don't forget to bring it with you every time you visit the library so you can get credit for checking out books, attending programs and completing special activities. Get enough stamps and you can take home a special prize! Look out for FREE STAMP DAYS as we approach the end of the year to fill in any spots you might have missed!
 
Please remember, as always, registration is required for ALL programs! We cannot contact you about essential information unless we know you are planning to attend! 
 
Thank you all for being a part of our library's community!
