Who can hear this? 🎵

Due to the weather forecast, the Earth Fest Celebration has been cancelled for this Saturday, April 22. We hope to see you there next year!

It's that time again: Tell us what you're reading (and if it's any good)!

Do you struggle to know what to talk about with your child during read alouds? Here's some examples of questions you can ask before, during, and after a story to encourage active listening and critical thinking. ❤️📚 What other questions do you ask? Add yours below!

Here's a craft to occupy your little one this week! Pick up a foam polar bear kit while supplies last. 🐻🎩

Tomorrow is craft day! Stop by to pick up this adorable pup 🐶

Happy 187th birthday to that guy we all read sophomore year of high school, the darling father of American literature, Mark Twain. Do you remember which book of his you read and what you thought about it? English teachers: Are kids these days still reading Huckleberry Finn?

A bit of read-aloud #wisdom for parents, caregivers, and older siblings: Channel your inner Julie Andrews. 👑 📷 @scholasticparents

Tweens, tomorrow is your chance to create your own masterpiece with this chalk and glue drawing craft. Get your kit while supplies last. 🎨

For those who celebrate, we wish you full bellies, rich conversation, and good rest this holiday.

Alright, Stow and Munroe Falls, let's hear it! 📣 What are you thankful for? We'll go first. 😊

Please be aware that the library will close early tomorrow at 5 PM and remain closed for Thanksgiving on Thursday. We'll resume regular hours on Friday, so come and see us! 😊

Stopped by our Native American Heritage Month display in the children's department today and it was just lovely. Here's some titles our librarians recommend for kids looking to honor the month.

Tell us, tell us! We want to know!

Celebrate the season with this fall wreath craft 🦃🍗🥧🍂🧡.

Want to celebrate National Native American Heritage month, but not sure where to start? 🤔 Why not try reading a book by an Indigenous author? We love these handy guides for overwhelmed readers created by staff at @RoomofOnesOwn in Madison, Wis.

Have you stopped by our "What Are You Thankful For?" displays around the library? Some of the answers are so sweet. 😭 For the month of November, stop in and let us know what you're grateful for! There's a display in children's, one in teen, and two more near the elevator.

Last Friday at our in-service, we honored staff members Jorge, Sarah, and Dawn, who reached milestones in their careers (15, 5, and 15 years at SMFPL, respectively). Thanks for dedicating your time and talent to our library and community. 💙
