It's Pizza Month!

Did you know that October is National Pizza Month?  As if you needed another reason to have pizza- why not have one to celebrate?  Grab a couple of books to read while you wait for your pizza to cook!  You can place holds online with your SAILS library card and pick them up at the library.  Search the catalog and find some great new books.
 
Here are a couple of pizza themed children's books.
 
 

Let's talk Halloween stories!

 
 
Are you ready for Halloween- you have a litte more than two weeks to pick out that perfect costume and buy (or buy again because you ate it all- we don't judge!) your Halloween candy.  It's also a good time to pick up Halloween DVDs and picture books.  Check out our display of Halloween books- we also have some frightfully delicious cookbooks and craft books to offer.
 
Here are some of our newest Halloween purchases and some old favorites.  Click on the book title to be redirected to the SAILS website

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.

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!
