SATURDAY STORIES: FALL FLING
Saturday, October 23, 2010, 10:30-11:15 AM

What’s the best thing about fall?  Whether you think it’s the pumpkin patch trip, the leaves crunching underfoot, or the chance to wear your favorite sweater again, cozying up indoors on a rainy day (or maybe all four), let’s celebrate autumn.

THE LITTLE YELLOW LEAF by Carin Berger
WHY DO LEAVES CHANGE COLOR? by Betty Maestro LEAF MAN by Lois Ehlert RAINY MORNING by Daniel Pinkwater PUMPKINS by Ken Robbins

After the stories, look closer at leaves and make your own leaf puzzle.

LIBRARY ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL STORY PROGRAM: 
CELEBRATE THE HARVEST

Saturday, November 6, 2010 10:30-11:15 AM

For many of us, the best part of the harvest is fruit!  We’ll explore oranges, apples, and pears in today’s books.  In addition to the stories, we’ll make and taste apple sauce.
