Music Medley Holiday Sing Along
Our usual sing-along but with a Holiday twist! We're celebrating all the great music that comes with Hannukah, Christmas, New Years Eve, the Winter Solstice and more! Join us for a family style sing along led by our favorite musician Miss Terri! This 30 minute sing along is for preschoolers of all ages. This is a drop in program and siblings, parents, grandparents and friends are welcome!

Kingdom of the Blind by Louise Penny
Top Pick in Mystery, December 2018
"Louise Penny’s novels are unique for how seamlessly they straddle the line between charming small-town mysteries and big-city police procedurals. As Kingdom of the Blind opens, protagonist Armand Gamache, former head of the Sûreté du Québec, receives a strange invitation to an abandoned farmhouse, and an even stranger request to act as executor of a will crafted by someone he never met. It is something of a wacky will, with bequests that suggest that the writer was not playing with a full deck of cards. And then a body turns up, and the document takes on a decidedly darker aspect." - Excerpt from Book Page Book Review article
A Parade of Elephants by Kevin Henkes
"From the very beginning, the energy of Kevin Henkes’ A Parade of Elephants is infectious as readers turn the page to see a parade of pastel-colored elephants. There are five, to be exact, but on this first full spread, they are laid out in five rows in which we see them incrementally (one in one row, two in the next, and so on)."- Excerpt from Book Page Book Review article
