What's Happening at the Library in Sept.?

There's lots going on at the Library for adults and kids in September!
Check out these events:

For Adults:
Wellness Talk: Introduction to Cleansing (Wed., Sept. 11, 6:00 pm): Open any main stream magazine in the spring or fall and you're likely to see something about 'detox' or cleansing.  What's the big deal?!  Join Dr. Katie from Ahimsa Naturopathic to learn how your body naturally rids itself of toxins and by-products and what you can do to help or hinder this process.  Ahimsa Naturopathic will be running another 'group cleanse' this fall.  This talk is a great opportunity to ask questions and find out whether 'cleansing' might be helpful for you!

Off the Shelf! (Mon., Sept. 16, 7:00 pm):  Our popular "Readings for Adults" program is back for a new season!  Join us this month as members of Theatre Night in Merrickville "brush up their Shakespeare".  Don't miss it!

Cookbook Swap (Mon., Sept. 30, 7:00 pm):  Everyone has a lovely cookbook that they somehow just never use.  Bring it to our Cookbook Swap and exchange it for one that will fire up your burners.  Bring a sample snack - sweet or savoury - from your cookbook to help it find a new home (and to make the evening that much more fun).  Contact the library to let us know you're coming.

For Children:
Juice Jam (Sat. Sept. 21, 10:30am):  Music program with Polly Beach for ages 7 & under.  Join us for songs, rhythm instruments, lots of audience participation, & a snack.

StoryTime is Back! (Fridays, 10:00(ish)): Bring your toddler or preschooler (ages 5 & under) to the library for our drop-in StoryTime.  It's a great way to develop your child’s early literacy and group interaction skills in a fun and relaxed setting.  StoryTime uses the Every Child Ready To Read pre-literacy programming which promotes 6 key skills for toddlers and preschoolers that will help them to become successful readers in school.  StoryTime helps build these skills using stories related to a theme, songs, rhymes & rhythm instruments, and a simple craft.  New StoryTimers are always welcome!  September’s themes are: Trucks, Farms, Pigs, & Head to Toe.

LEGO Club (Saturdays, 10 - 12 noon):  Our Saturday morning LEGO drop-in continues in Sept.  Join us for brick-filled building fun for ages 4-12.
