  Even though it feels like it will never be cool enough to be called Fall, September is right around the corner and we're planning things for kids of all ages.  Most of our events will still be held virtually, for everyone's safety, but we will be beginning our Neighborhood Storytimes and we may be coming to your neighborhood very soon*! For older kids we'll also be continuing the Craft Kits from the summer as well as opportunities to stream video games with us. And for those interested in the Teen Advisory Group, we're meeting just to socialize and share our good things and bad things every week! If you or a kid you know has an idea for a program, please let us know, we're always open to your ideas and needs! *If your neighborhood isn't on our schedule please message us on Facebook or email us with contact info for your HOA so we can try to arrange something!
