November 3rd-9th is Children’s Book Week, when we celebrate books for our youngest patrons and the joy of reading. This year, we have some help from Dog Man and his friends, who encourage everyone to “get caught reading”.

Discover all that children’s books have to offer during this storytime filled with fun, movement, and play.

11/5 Decorate Bookmarks  at 2:30 p.m.
Decorate a bookmark which you can then use to “get caught reading”. Attendees will be entered in a drawing to win Dav Pilkey books.

11/13 Pumpkin Book Art at 5:00 p.m.
This program is open to all ages. Learn how to turn a discarded book into seasonal art at this hands-on program. All materials supplied.

Keep an eye out for a special scavenger hunt in the children’s area during Children’s Book Week.
Anyone who completes the hunt will be entered in a drawing to win Dav Pilkey books.
