Announcements
Special Announcement from the Youth Services
Youth Services at the Library is going to be a bit different this Fall! Ms. Heather will be away on maternity leave from the end of September through November. As a result, the Youth Services Department will be a bit quieter. But that doesn’t mean everything is put on hold. Read on for Announcements from Ms. Heather:
Hello Friends! I will be away from the library for a while. I will miss you SO MUCH while I take some time off to be with my new babies, but I know you will have lots of fun at the library. The rest of the library staff will be here to answer your questions, help you find books, do storytimes, and say hello. They are all very nice, so make sure to come visit and keep them company. I will be so excited to see you when I’m back! I can’t wait to hear all about the books you read and the fun things you do while I’m gone. While I am away, some programs will continue, some will take a temporary break, and there will also be a few special ones to tide you over:
Storytime Continues
Songs and Stories (for 2-7 year olds) will continue on Mondays at 4 PM. Ms. Jen will be taking over while I’m gone. She’s very good at storytime, and I’m confident you’ll all have a great time!
Baby Playgroup instead of Storytime
While I’m gone, our Lapsit Storytime will be replaced by a more informal playgroup/meetup every Tuesday at 3 PM. We’ll put out toys and books in the Meeting Room so babies ages 0-2 and their caregivers can have a chance to chat, play, and spend some time at the library.
Craft Times will be on Break
Craft programs will be on hold starting at the beginning of September. But never fear! We’re going to show off lots of resources the library has to help you find crafts to do at home, and of course the coloring table will stay stocked up.
Dungeons and Dragons/Wanderhome will Return in January
Our RPG groups are also taking a break, and the plan is to restart in January. So look out for registration to start in December. In the meantime, Acton Memorial Library has RPG sessions for lots of different ages. Check their website to see if one is right for you!
Special Programs to Fill in the Gaps
I have invited some of our favorite presenters to come and do fun programs while I’m gone. Here are some hints of what they may bring to the Library: nocturnal animals, dancers, someone SO FLUFFY, and paint! Visit the library website and social media channels for details!
