September has rolled around again and for many this means things start switching gears. We go from the lazy days of summer to the busy days of school and soccer, band practice and football games. This is also a busy month at the library, where we'll have not one but two authors this month, the start of our Science Speaker Series and of course the Fall booksale at the end of the month. Hope you'll mark your calendar for one or more of these exciting events. We always enjoy seeing everyone come in to check out some books too!!
