Happy National Princess Day! Flashback to Friday when @midpointe_library Trenton hosted storytime and crafts with some favorite @disney characters! I never cease to be amazed by the quality of #freelibraryprograms! Definitely a memorable #LibraryAdventure!

First book of November finished on 11/4. Quick and engaging read by @christinalauren, narrated by @mallonerin. The #Libbyapp is my favorite for listening to audiobooks. What's your take on the latest Christina Lauren release?

October Reading Wrap-Up
.
The month started slow for me but ended solidly (2 books read in the last week). Read The Overdue Life of Amy Byler in print and listened to the other grown-up books as audiobooks, via the @overdrive_libs #Libbyapp. Picking a favorite is tough, but Tata Westover's Educated had me absolutely enthralled! I am still in awe that it is a true story!
We are on a Beverly Cleary kick and enjoyed the first three Henry Huggins books throughout October. Some of my favorite moments this month were reading aloud chapters as we enjoyed a family walk post-dinner. 🍁🍂

Halloween breakfast for my little monsters! They were thrilled. I fondly remember my Mom making smiley face meals for holidays and random lunches. Low-budget way to made a kid feel special.

I wanted to read a scary story to get in the mood for Halloween and this fit the bill. Listened to this creeptastic thriller in just four days via @overdrive_libs #Libbyapp. Thanks to @littlelove.library for the book recommendation. .

Today's #LibraryAdventures included an appointment with a super helpful (and patient) librarian who spent a half-hour on the phone with a rude government official on my behalf (trying to sort out a passport renewal complication). #librariansareangels
.
.
.
Then we drove across town to another branch of our library system for a pumpkin-themed Art for Little Hands program. The art projects featured a wide variety of textures and tasks (lace, corrugated cardboard, pipe cleaners, painting, cutting, crayon rubbing, stencils), perfect for curious bodies and developing brains. Plus, who doesn't love a hilarious #janthomas reading?!? .
Needless to say, the second #LibraryAdventure was much more enjoyable!

Despite really enjoying this novel, I took my time reading it. Perhaps because I read it in print and it is more challenging for me to carve out physical reading time (as opposed to listening to audiobooks via the #Libbyapp on-the-go). A bit ironic, given that reading feeds my soul and this book tackles issues of motherhood, identity, and self-care. Swipe to see one if my favorite passages from the novel.

Another of our recent #LibraryAdventures: story laboratory involving vegetables. After researching their veggie, Chip enjoyed painting with a carrot and stamping with broccoli. What a fun #freelibraryprogram!

Today's #LibraryAdventures included dissecting owl pellets and identifying bones. I still remember this activity from my elementary school days - that's how powerful hands-on learning can be! Beyond grateful that our library offered this program for young scientists. .
