Back from the North Pole, Jingle the Library Elf has returned to the Bridgewater Public Library.  Have you met Jingle?  Jingle has been known to appear in different locations, normally in the children's room and loves books and mischief.

Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for all that you have and love- and that includes books!  We have created a display of children's Thanksgiving themed books for you to enjoy.  This selection includes picture books, some nonfiction books and a couple of cookbooks for those budding chefs.  This display has been very popular in the last week, so we recommend you come in soon or go online and place a hold on some books at sailsinc.org

First day of Fall arrives this week on Wednesday, September 22.  What do you think of when you hear the word about Fall?  Do you think about pumpkins and apple picking?  Or do you think that Halloween is coming soon (that's a post for another day!)  Maybe you think about leaves- today, let's find some good books about leaves and Fall.

Here in the children's room, we like to think any day can be worthy of a holiday.  You will see on our calendar (available in paper version in the children's room) that we love to make note of odd, fun holidays that you might want to celebrate at home.  This month is no exception, which brings us to the display of the week "Pirates".

 

Be sure to come by the children's room this week to check out some of our favorite books about pirates, from the true stories of pirates to picture books about pirates.
