Please call the library at 937.783.3585 by October 25 to register for the initial program at 6 p.m., Tuesday, October 29. Attendees in October will make a set of fall beeswax candles to take home.

 You can never have too many Halloween decorations.
And the library has a unique one to add to your collection. The Take-and-Make for October is a Bandana Pumpkin.
Each Take-and-Make bag contains an orange bandana, bag of stuffing, wired leaf, bamboo stem, and wired vine. You will need to provide a roll of toilet paper to complete the project. Just follow the included instructions, and you will have a cool, little pumpkin. Visit the library and grab a free bag. |

 Children from ages 2-5 will build a foundation for reading success through stories, play and activities. And you are invited to register your child anytime for the library's regular morning storytime sessions.
Morning storytimes are separated into age groups, but we also have our popular Family Storytime from 5-6 p.m. each Monday. No registration is required. Children (and adults) of all ages are welcome to just show up and enjoy a story, songs, crafts and a light snack.
