FALL in love with a new book
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.
The pirate's life for me!
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.
See you in September…for in-person programming.
We are excited to announce in person programming will be returning this month.
Getting ready for back to school
It’s almost time for back to school and the Bridgewater Public Library is here to help! We have a large selection of school themed picture books, some books to help ease your little one’s mind about going to school, school themed chapter books and ideas for school lunches.
Mindfulness
Over the last year, families have spent a lot of time together and being mindful of each other. Mindful simply means giving something your full attention and being present in the moment. You might be practicing mindfulness and not even knowing you are doing it. Examples of ways to practice mindfulness include: taking a walk, listening to nature, doing yoga, and the topic of today: journaling.
Summer reading round up!
Thank you to everyone who participated in our summer reading program Tails and Tales 2021 at the Bridgewater Public Library. We had a lot of fun this summer with take and make crafts, Virtual Princess Story Times, Virtual PJ Story Times, Henry the Juggler, Art with Corinne and Story Time with Mrs. Davis in Music Alley. It was great to see so many people here getting their library books!
Drawing and comics: Art at the library
This week, let’s highlight art.
There are a lot of examples of art in the children’s room, from our posters and framed pictures to the covers of books. Photography is a type of art and is often featured on the covers of nonfiction books. Did you see our shark display last month? There were photos of sharks on the covers of many of the books. Picture books contain a lot of artwork, mostly in the form of illustrations. Do you have a favorite picture book?& What do you like about the pictures?
