Turkey Race Make 'n Take Next Week
Imagine that Thanksgiving is over, the table has been cleared, the adults are ready for a nap, and the kids are antsy. What do you do? Why, race turkeys, of course! Stop by the library the week of November 17th and have the kids put their turkey racers together. Be sure to give them a little practice at home before the big event! Craft kits will be available all week beginning Tuesday at noon.

All Booked Up Reads Marley and Me for December
Get your copy of Marley and Me by John Grogan at the Circulation Desk and join the discussion at 6:30pm on Wednesday, December 2nd here at the library!From the Publisher
John and Jenny were just beginning their life together. They were young and in love, with a perfect little house and not a care in the world. Then they brought home Marley, a wriggly yellow furball of a puppy. Life would never be the same.
Marley quickly grew into a barreling, ninety-seven-pound streamroller of a Labrador retriever. He crashed through screen doors, gouged through drywall, and stole women's undergarments. Obedience school did no good — Marley was expelled.
And yet his heart was pure. Just as Marley joyfully refused any limits on his behavior, his love and loyalty were boundless, too. A dog like no other, Marley remained steadfast, a model of devotion, even when his family was at its wit's end. Unconditional love, they would learn, comes in many forms.

Dead Until Dark is the Book of the Month in November
Dead Until Dark, book 1 of the Southern Vampire Mysteries Series, by Charlaine Harris is our featured novel for the month on November. Pick up your copy today and get hooked!Summary
Sookie Stackhouse is a cocktail waitress in small-town Louisiana, but she keeps to herself and doesn't date much because of her "disability" to read minds. When she meets Bill, Sookie can't hear a word he's thinking. He's the type of guy she's waited for all of her life, but he has a disability, too--he's a vampire with a bad reputation. When one of Sookie's coworkers is killed, she fears she's next.
Note: The entire series will soon be available for circulation, so let the reservations begin!

Happy Halloween From Your Librarians!
Story Time in Full Swing
Story Time is in full swing here at Cutler Library, meeting at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesdays or Wednesdays (when school is in session), for children age 3 - Kindergarten.In looking at the school calendar, Miss Carrie-Anne discovered there is no school, and therefore no Story Time, on Wednesday, November 11, 18, and 25. What a bummer! If you are a Wednesday morning participant, please be sure to cross these days off on your calendar.

Pajama Story Time at the Library
Our first Pajama Story Time was a great success! The kids who attended were all comfy-cozy in their pajamas (as was Miss Carrie-Anne), while they did some "dancing" and listened to fun stories. If you missed the first one, not to worry, we have our next Pajama Story Time planned for Thursday, November 5th. Stories and activities are geared for children ages 3-6. Join us at 6:30pm for lots of fun -- and don't forget to wear your jammies!

Our November Make 'n Take will be available in the Young Readers' Room the week of November 17th. Kids will definitely gobble up this craft, as they serve two purposes.
