New Library Assistant speaks of September Events

Sarah Bowers, the new Children's library Assistant at Aberdeen Timberland Library is excited to bring you news of the September events at our public library.  The "mom" of two crazy puppies and a nature enthusiast, she works hard to make sure that our county is being taken care of and will be preserved for future generations.

Since becoming a library assistant after moving back home to the harbor four months ago, I have discovered all of the wonderful resources that are in the library and right under our noses.  If you are looking to learn something new and meet new locals too, look no further than your public library. This month at the Aberdeen Library there is always something for everyone.

If you have a little one then Mondays: Book Babies starts September 10^th at 10:45am-11am, for ages birth - 2 years old. The program includes short stories, songs, rhymes and knee bounces. Discover the joy of early language with your baby. Each baby must be accompanied by an adult lap please!

In addition to book babies, we have Tuesdays: Story Time which starts Tuesday September 4th from 10:45am-11:15am: For ages 3-6. Enjoy stories, rhymes, songs, games, and arts and crafts! Parents are definitely encouraged to attend with their children as this will be fun for them to watch the children learn. 

Being an adult I love the upcoming groups For Adults including;

Bernie Meyer "The American Gandhi “Bringing Nonviolence to the United States” is the featured program September 11^th from 6pm-7pm. Mahatma Gandhi is regarded as one of the great men of the 20th century for introducing nonviolence as a way to oust the British Empire from India. Bernie Meyer portrays the historic Gandhi in six scenes, illuminating significant events of his life and his nonviolent teachings. Afterwards, Meyer conducts a discussion with the audience. Sponsored by the Friends of the Aberdeen Timberland Library and is part of the September project which you can read more about here. (http://theseptemberproject.org).
