Welcome to your library news update!
We have fresh-picked books for you this harvest season: Fantastic Fall Debuts for adults, new picture books for littles focusing on Indigenous Peoples, and historical fiction eBooks and eAudio for children and teens. Teens who like their historical fiction mixed with magic will also enjoy our historical fantasy selections.
In December, the Story Explorers Book Group (Grades 4-6) will read about Nicholas St. North's battle against the Nightmare King, a magical adventure featuring a daredevil swordsman--and future Santa. We have virtual book groups for middle grades and teens, too, as well as for adults, both online and in person.
Teen writers and poets, you can connect online with your peers every month to practice creative writing and share your work.
Come into the branches and have some fun. We're hosting regularly scheduled game nights for teens and tabletop game nights for adults. The youngest readers (and listeners) can drop by for our Grow a Reader Winter Wonder specials.
If you'd rather enjoy a library event at home on a chilly night, sign up to attend bestselling author Geraldine Brooks' talk on her new novel Horse, which blends a story of past racial injustices and triumph of the spirit with horse racing history.
Also online, view winning entries from this year's Teen Stop Motion Video Contest and IdeaSpace Presents' latest feature. Local emcee and musician Lil Jeuce sings his fantastic rap about all CRRL's IdeaSpace has to offer visitors.
Our Paws for Reading/Time with a Therapy Dog pals are back. Call your branch to sign up for an appointment or book a virtual visit online.
For this giving season, we're hosting a gift wrap exchange, and adults can also learn how to upcycle a t-shirt into a no-sew tote bag. Children in grades K-6 can attend our Fabulous Friday: Holiday Gifts sessions at Snow or Fredericksburg branches.
We are thankful for everyone who makes the library a part of their lives, and we wish you all happy and healthy holidays.
