Fall is in the air! What a great time to get out and enjoy the happenings in our communities, including fantastic events at your local public library. As you'll read in this edition of our newsletter, we have some stellar programs this month. They range from offering tips in early literacy to helping search your roots to using music to create stories.
And as it is October, check out our full list of programs to see some of the spooky story times we will be offering. And for the slightly older kids, there're zombies too!
Many thanks to all our community partners for helping us to offer such amazing programs and classes. A special thank you to
Charles Borland
who will be kicking off another session of his incredibly popular genealogy basics this month.
And finally, don't forget to check out some of our great new books. Fall is also the perfect time to curl up with a good book and escape!
Happy reading, 
Christian

Before children can learn to read, they must develop a range of early literacy skills. Parents and other primary caregivers are children's first teachers and can incorporate some simple practices that do not require expensive materials to help the infants and young children in their care develop early literacy skills.
