We are currently on a storytime break, but another 4-week session starts on October 13th!
Circle of Parents meets every Wednesday from 9:30-11:30am at Columbus Library. Experienced child care teachers provide on-site activities and supervision for children up to five years of age, while parents are busy in group discussion and activities.
We're wrapping up Library Card Sign-Up Month with typewriter poet Zoe Branch’s original poem inspired by the possibilities that begin with a library card:
"If it’s back-to-school season
if we’re all with our pencils
freshly sharpened and our hearts
with their hopes for the autumn
then why not also head down
to the library — free little
heaven — gentle center
of everything — to sign up
for a card. Pick out the picture
on the plastic — go ahead:
it might open a hundred doors
toward something magic,
all those books and museums,
all those tools you might
borrow and the instruments,
the courses, the cool air,
the quiet. If it’s finally
September then it’s time
to remember all
the wide ease of access
to anything you might want.
Worry not. The library
offers it."
