Fall has arrived!

Hi friends, it's Percy! With the end of September we entered a new season: it's called Autumn or Fall. Fall comes after summer, and before winter. When I think Autumn, I think of apple cider, pumpkins, and brightly colored leaves. What does Fall mean to you? One of my favorite holidays happens during fall -- can you guess what it is? That's right: Halloween! Halloween is at the very end of October, and you get to wear costumes and go trick-or-treating with your grown-ups. We have lots of Fall fun planned at the Library -- I hope we'll see you here!

Percy's Tip for Grown-Ups: Jennie Ito, Ph.D. and Child Development expert says that learning about the seasons helps children understand the passage of time and teaches them about change. Start the discussion with this fun Four Seasons video from ABCmouse.com! PS - Don't forget that your library card gets you full access to ABCmouse!
