Join us this Saturday for a fun discussion of the book My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George.  Share your thoughts about this fascinating story of survival, munch on bagels, and learn some wilderness survival skills!  Outdoor educator, Coy Heath, will join us to teach a sampling of wilderness survival skills similar to those that Sam Gribley taught himself during his year of living in the wild.  If you have ever wondered about what you can eat in the wild, how to build a shelter, how to track animals, or how to enjoy a greater appreciation of the natural world, then this meeting is for you!  Don't worry if you haven't finished reading the book--everyone is welcome.  Free copies of My Side of the Mountain are available for participants, while supplies last, or you can borrow a copy from the library's collection.  Stop by the library to sign up and pick up your copy today!

The second Books & Bagels gathering of the school year is coming up on Saturday, November 14 from 2-3 pm.  If you are in grades 4-6, please join us as we discuss The London Eye Mystery by the late Siobhan Dowd.  We will also make a model of the London Eye and enjoy bagels and cream cheese generously donated by  Panera  Bread in Frandor.  Register now and receive a free paperback copy of the book (while supplies last).  

Our first Books and Bagels of the season is coming soon! (October 17th, 2-3 pm) The title I have chosen is Swindle, by Gordon Korman.  A great adventure story for 4th through 6th graders.  We always enjoy fresh bagels with cream cheese and a drink, lively conversation, and of course, a fun hands on activity.  This month we plan to paint a picture frame for our own Babe Ruth baseball card.  Join us by picking up the book at the circulation desk.  It is yours to keep.  And you could even bring a friend!  See you there... Miss Lezlee.
