There's Always Something to Be Thankful For 2020 has been a challenging year for many of us. Now is the time to appreciate the small blessings in life and show gratitude for what we have. Make this Thanksgiving extra special with help from the Library. From table settings to turkey and all of the trimmings, we have resources to help you plan the perfect holiday. Browse through our Thanksgiving cookbooks to help cook up an unforgettable meal of main courses, side dishes, and desserts. Our free arts & crafts online resource, Creativebug, has videos about creating "tablescapes," floral arrangements, and easy DIY decorations and centerpieces. Our libraries will be closed on Thursday, November 26 and Friday, November 27 for Thanksgiving, but will resume services on Saturday if you want to visit our Lobby service or contact us by phone, chat, or email. |
Special Music Guest: MaryLee Sunseri We invite our littlest learners and their families to a live virtual concert during our Baby Storytime this Wednesday at 11 a.m. Award-winning children’s singer-songwriter MaryLee Sunseri will entertain children and their families with interactive, familiar songs that encourage everyone to get moving and sing along!
Music and dance are important parts of a child’s development. As there is rhythm in music, there is rhythm in words and sentences.
