In keeping with November’s emphasis on thankfulness, the Children’s Department has two initiatives to help children express thanks and generosity towards others. From Nov. 1 through Nov. 20, we’ll have a table set up where kids can decorate cards to thank local veterans for their service to our country – we’ll provide the materials and arrange for the cards to be delivered, and we’re sure the recipients will be thrilled by your children’s efforts. (We're also hosting
Songs of World War II with Ruth Harcovitz on Nov. 11th at 2pm in the Great Hall. A wonderful way to celebrate Veterans Day!!)
Likewise, your kids have the chance to make other children very happy: once again, the Children’s Department will sponsor a Giving Tree to provide Christmas gifts to Merrimack Valley homeless children served by Emmaus, Inc. The tree will be up Nov. 22-Dec. 15 – if you’d like to help, please stop by and choose a Wish List item to purchase and put (unwrapped) under our tree to help make a child’s Christmas dreams come true. Thank you!
Besides all of the above, we have our usual roster of preschool programs, storytimes, craft clubs, book groups, and even a special Arm Knitting session for older children! Keep an eye on the Children’s Department calendar and Facebook page to learn about these and other upcoming programs – we look forward to seeing you at the library.
Happy November, and Happy Reading
