October KIDSHEET

printable pdf version

MUZZY Online:  One-stop learning!

With an Internet connection (free at the library!) and your library card (free at the library!), you can access 8 different language programs and learn a new language through play and fun!

Our MUZZY online program can be used at home, at school, on the road, in the library, or wherever you can connect.  Click on the MUZZY icon above or on our homepage, type in your library card number, and you can get started in any of the following:

English    French    Italian    German    Spanish    Mandarin Chinese    Portuguese    Russian

For each language there are two levels to choose form, six games in each level, and multiple lessons within the levels at which to try your hand, or rather, your voice.

Fun for all ages, MUZZY can help young and old alike learn with fun and games, for free.  Get started now and see how soon you'll be fluent in the language of your choice.

 


 

 

 

BOO-RIFIC Halloween Program

Join Magic Don on Wednesday, October 24th at 6:30 pm for this special show.  Kids are welcome to come in costume!

Full of comedy and magic and great for children from three to ninety-three.  Things float in the air!  Something appears, something vanishes!  It's spooky but not scary, just plain fun.

URGENT:  LEGOS NEEDED!

 

If anyone has Legos or Duplos they would care to donate to the library, please bring them in anytime and leave them for Linda.  Your generosity if appreciated!

If you'd care to donate a new set or donate cash toward a purchase for the club, that would be great appreciated as well!  Over 20 children attended the first club meeting and were excited about returning.  We'd love to make sure they have fresh materials from time to time.
