Scott County Library Newsletter
September
2017 - corrected
|
|
Our apologies - the newsletter was sent out with two date errors and so we are resending. (Apparently someone was thinking a little too hard about the deep-fried pumpkin pie at the State Fair!) Preschool classes in Prior Lake begin 9/14, and the second ACT Test Prep class is Wednesday, 10/18.
Fall is in the air and it's time to celebrate/mourn the beginning of school, depending on your perspective! Now that students are heading back to school, it's time for some special events for our littlest library lovers, like the Baby Fall Formal and all our wonderful early literacy classes and storytimes.
For students, don't miss the information on free online tutoring at the end of the newsletter, and save the date for ACT test prep and a special MEA break event in October.
Please note: Libraries are closed Sunday, 9/3 and Monday, 9/4 in observance of Labor Day.
