Big Kids Booktime
Every Thursday Morning at 10 AM
This fall let's practice our letters while learning about animals too! Our storytimes will be held outside, in-person, until we are forced inside due to weather. Once the weather gets more challenging, we'll meet via Zoom. Join Ms. Catherine, for about a half hour of picturebooks, music, singing, creative movement and a little socializing.
To receive your Zoom invite to allow you and your child to join, please contact Catherine (cabaer@rgpl.org)
Big Kids Booktime storytimes are for kids 2-5 years old (about, all are welcome).

The Mysterious Benedict Society, by Trenton Lee Stewart
ARE YOU A GIFTED CHILD Looking for special opportunities?
When this peculiar ad appears in the newspaper, dozens of children enroll to take a series of mysterious, mind-bending tests. (And you, dear listener, can test your wits right alongside them.) But in the end just four very special children will succeed. Their challenge: to go on a secret mission that only the most intelligent and resourceful
children could complete. To accomplish it they will have to go undercover at the Learning Institute for the Very Enlightened, where the only rule is that there are no rules.
As our heroes face physical and mental trials beyond their wildest imaginations, they have no choice but to turn to each other for support. But with their newfound friendship at stake, will they be able to pass the most important test of all?
Welcome to the mysterious Benedict Society.
Library Lego Club (online) - all ages welcome
Wednesday, September 29, 3:30 - 4:30 PM
Join us for some online fun times! All ages welcome!
Listen to a story while you create something with Legos. You can use your own, or if you need some to build with, contact the library to borrow a kit of Legos.
This month's challenge: create your favorite big thing, only smaller, out of Legos!
Ms. Catherine will be reading Bones in the White House; Thomas Jefferson's Mammoth, about how the third president of the United States, and author of the Declaration of Independence was a collector of prehistoric bones!
