There’s a nip in the air and the crunch of fallen leaves beneath our feet as we wander our pathways today. Boats are in the winter storage, the beaches deserted and summer shops are shuttered. It’s that quiet time as daylight shortens and nights grow cooler, between robust summer and not quite yet the first snowfall on the hillsides. School classrooms are abuzz with activity and with Halloween just around the corner, there are Pumpkin People everywhere! |

Sunapee’s Abbott Library and the Richards Free Library in Newport have very special story times and activities for children. |
|
|
|
The children's department at Richards Free Library is pleased to introduce Little Wiggle Time, a fun and flexible "story time" for those little ones who are busy learning how their bodies move, with a focus on movement and song. We had requests for a Friday time, and an evening time, so we've compromised and settled on Friday evenings at 5pm for now, though that is subject to change.
Watch out for news about our upcoming Reading Pals program, where children will be able to safely and comfortably practice their reading by reading aloud to Dexter, our friendly library cat, or to community volunteer dogs who can't wait to spend time with the kiddos and listen to some stories.
