September's meeting will be a round-table book talk--tell us about a recent favourite read, and perhaps we'll select it for one of future discussions. The librarian will briefly present our fall book selections, including:
School Story by Andrew Clements (October)
The Book of Time by Guillaume Prevost (November)
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson (December)

You will see how easy it is and how much fun you can have incorporating different things into the paper - like Coffee grounds, parsley and bits of yarn etc - It certainly gets the imagination going! She will demonstrate this and have an example of what it can be used for. Hands-on trials will be available as well. Gail will bring the material for us.

The popular Parent-Child Mother Goose program is back! The program has been offered since 2007 in partnership with the New Canadians Centre and the Peterborough Public Library. The program has brought newcomer and other families together to share as a group the pleasure and power of using rhymes, songs and storytelling. The goal of the program is to use simple bouncing rhymes, songs and stories to help parents and children grow closer together. It is a fun way to connect, communicate, cuddle and build a stronger community by using playful, language-based activities.
