Dressing up is FUN!
Hi, friends, it's Percy! It's October, and that brings two of my favorite things: Halloween and Great GeekFest! I'll bet you already know about Halloween -- maybe you're planning to wear a costume and Trick or Treat with your grownups. You can also wear your favorite costume to Great GeekFest at the Library! I hope you'll join us; along with games, crafts, and storytime, you can meet super-heroes, and attend our own Jedi Academy for younglings! Read on for details!

The unicorn in this story says it isn't always easy to be a unicorn: "Unicorns are special and totally uni-que. We have crazy names, know how to stand out in a herd, love to ask questions, and always search for the bright side. Most importantly, we make our own magic!"

Hero Elementary
Percy's watching... Hero Elementary!
Why? Because this show from PBS Kids centers around a diverse group of students who work together to solve problems, using science to help make the world a better place. Plus, Hero Elementary is a school for budding superheroes -- and what could be more fun than that?!
