Oct. 31 Story Time

Family story time takes place at the Pinckney Community Public Library every Tuesday at 11:00 a.m. and every Wednesday at 1:00 p.m. This year Halloween, October 31, is on a Tuesday so we will have a very fun Halloween celebration during our Family Story Time on Tuesday October 31 at 11:00 a.m. We will read special Halloween (not so spooky) books, do a fun Halloween craft to take home, and share some tasty cupcakes! All of the children (and parents if they want) are invited to wear their costumes to the Library for this special Halloween story time. I hope to see you there. Happy Halloween! ~ Sara

All Ages Self Defense

Michael Di Giuseppe, Sensi from Koshinrin Budo Kai, will be teaching us how to keep our children safe on playgrounds as well as in public at the Pinckney Library on Thursday October 12, 2006 at 5:00. Sensi Mike has been teaching both of my children (7 & 4) as well as my husband karate through Pinckney Community Education for almost a year so I can vouch this will be an interesting and educational class that you and your children can enjoy together. Learn techniques you and your child can use to stay away from harm. As they say in the commercials the class is free keeping your children safe is ... priceless. ~Sara

Teen Readers taking Small Steps

Teen readers if you are looking for something new to read check out www.teenreads.com/index.asp. It is a great web site with lots of reviews and excepts from new teen fiction!

Teen Book Chat is reading the book Small Steps by Louis Sachar for the October book discussion. Small Steps is the continuation of the story of Armpit that started at Camp Green Lake in the book Holes. I finished reading Small Steps last night before bed. It was a good story, but personally I do not think that it was outstanding the way Holes was. However, you can read Small Steps without having read Holes previously, maybe this is what Sachar was aiming for. If you agree with me or especially if you disagree please join us on Tuesday October 17 at 6:30 for discussion, food, and fun at the Pinckney Library. Teen Book Chat welcomes anyone ages 9 - 18, and as always, is free! If you need a copy of the book I have two of them sitting on my desk, just let me know.
