In the interest of public safety, patrons need to be aware
that next over the next several weeks the library will be overrun by monsters, dinosaurs
and furry creatures. I’d say we are becoming a veritable Jurassic Park, but I
can’t promise all the dinosaur will be from that period.
The danger begins on Wednesday, October 30th at
1:00 pm with the showing of the most recent installment of the Hotel
Transylvania series: Transformania. Hmm, actually that movie premise
involves the old switcheroo. Instead of an all but one cast of monsters, it
showcases an all but one cast of humans. Good thing, as the East Troy Community
School District is closed for inservice. Impressionable young children may
accidentally attend the viewing and wear the emotional scares for life. Perhaps
the popcorn would make them feel better.
Thursday at 3:00 pm is the time for Teens & Tweens
programming in our Lower Level. Each of the first four Thursdays of the month
have a specific theme. The 31st is the fifth Thursday of October. To
celebrate, we have spooky board games available for groups of friends to play.
Trick or Treaters are invited to wear their costumes and start the evening at
the library where we will be passing out candy - hopefully not in the snow like
last year.
The really big reptile ancestors take over the next day as
part of Dinovember. We are inviting local dinosaur enthusiasts to bring in
their dinosaurs to display in our glass case. They can be plastic, stuffed,
Lego, etc. just not living as we don’t have the proper budget or staff to
handle the feeding and cleanup required. They will be returned safely at the
end of the month. Patrons of the smaller variety will receive a dinosaur
sticker each week. Ms. Maria will stick to a dinosaur theme for that month’s Storytime
on Fridays at 11:00 am.
Finally, the furriest event will be on Thursday, November 14th
at 2:00 pm when we’ll host a special dino-storytime. Mr Nibbles, a local bunny
and sometimes library patron, will wear his dinosaur costume and share his
favorite story. Snacks will be provided. I’ve been instructed to make them
dinosaur shaped. Fans of Drew Daywalt’s The Legend of Rock, Paper, Scissors
may be disappointed to learn, they will not be dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets.
For those of you who don’t know the book, I highly recommend it and will
happily do a read aloud upon request for patrons brave enough to visit us
amidst the upcoming dangers.
