Young Chefs Are Making Homemade Ravioli in November

Parents, need a night off from cooking dinner? Children ages 8 and up can join us this fall for a fun (and delicious) new Kids Make Dinner monthly cooking series held over Zoom. Katie,
a Registered Dietitian from Food Explorers, returns with a 4 part series
where, together yet safely apart, we make a healthy dinner for our families! Our third program is Homemade Ravioli and will be held on Wednesday, November 4, from 5:30-6:30 pm. Some parental guidance in the kitchen may be necessary. To register, call the library at 860-295-6210.

Miss
the browsing experience? While the library building remains closed to
the public, we are now offering window browsing for adults. Stop by the
library and peek through the windows on the adult side of the building.
We have three displays up, one featuring new materials, another
featuring horror/scary books and movies for Halloween, and a third
featuring autumnal favorites! If you see something you like, call the
library during curbside hours and staff will check it out and run it
outside for you. If you are visiting during hours when staff are not
available, you can place a hold online through our Encore catalog and we
will pull them when we come into work.

We know Halloween is going to look a lot different this year for many people. If you're planning on staying home, be sure to stock up on scary books and movies (and you can borrow them from the library for free)! Our library staff are also here to share their recommendations and help you choose the best books and movies suited for your family.  |
Ms. Eileen and Ms. Nancy will host virtual storytimes for children ages 2-3 beginning at 10 am on Monday, November 2 and 16, and for children ages 3-5 on Fridays at 10 am on November 13 and 20. Each storytime will include a Library2Go craft kit that parents can pick up a few days prior to the scheduled program.
