It's Fall!

Outside, the temperature is getting cooler. It's "good football weather" as I like to say, meaning here in Ohio we're getting out cozy sweatshirts, making bonfires, enjoying hayrides and picking out pumpkins, and watching football--especially here in Massillon!

This coming week in Storytime at MPL, we're celebrating the beginning of fall with the theme: "Autumn Antics." Autumn continues to offer a special opportunity to read some very simple stories that emphasize the colors, sounds, and smells of the season. We will read some of the following stories in our "Autumn Antics" storytime session the week of October 4th: Ska-tat! by Kimberley Knutson, Mouse's First Fall by Lauren Thompson, It's Fall! by Linda Glaser, We're Going on a Leaf Hunt by Steve Metzger, Who Loves Fall by Bob Raczka, and When Autumn Falls by Kelli Nidey. Fletcher's favorite tree is changing colors and dropping its leaves. Find out what happens to his tree when the last leaf is shed in the story, Fletcher and the Falling Leaves by Julia Rawlinson.

Looking forward to seeing you all there! The following week we'll take a break from storytimes to get ready for the next session. But you can sign up for the second session of storytimes starting Monday, October 11th by calling the Children's Department at 330-832-5037.
