Children in grades K-5 are invited to drop-in and practice reading to gentle (and costumed!) canine listeners at the Library! Happening at the Aalfs Downtown Library Saturday, October 25 from 2 - 3 pm.
October is HALLOW-READ month! Kids can log their reading and earn creepy badges all month long (October 1-31). Ages 0-5 have a goal of reading 30 books over the course of the month. Ages 6-18 have a goal of reading 5 hours over the course of the month. Hit the reading goal of 30 books or 5 hours read in October and earn an adorable Jack-O'-Lantern backpack plushie!
Carve out some time to party with pumpkins and pals! Enjoy seasonal stories and rhymes, followed by a fun craft and jack-o'-lantern hunt! Come for a gourd time!
Come enjoy traditional rhythms and dances from Guinea West Africa with Duniya Drum and Dance! This event is free and open to all ages.
Come in from the heat to enjoy a free movie on the big screen. Feel free to bring your own snack and beverage (must have a lid or resealable cap).
