Month: August 2022

Meteorological fall starts September 1st, but the Autumnal Equinox, the official start of fall, is on September 22. Summer has slipped away, and our season changes to autumn. School’s back in session. Labor Day is over. The mornings are cooler. The sun sets earlier every evening.

GPL’s Toddler Storytime @ the Library begins again on September 7^th at 10:30 am. Toddlers, and their siblings and parents, are welcome to join Ms. Hannah for stories and snacks.  

Stop in after Labor Day and pick up this month’s children’s craft – build your own birdfeeder (and take home some seeds to fill it).

Yoga continues on Monday mornings at 8:30 and Thursday afternoons at 5:30. All ages and abilities welcome.

Be sure to fall into the library in September!

August is a month of transitions. Summer starts turning into autumn. Children begin returning to school. Vacations wind down; back-to-school shopping starts up. The days start getting shorter; darkness lingers longer in the mornings.

And it’s a perfect month to transition some of your reading habits. Never touch a romance novel? August is Read-A-Romance Month; maybe this is the time. Check out our display of ever-enduring romances (say, Jane Austen) or pick a newcomer (maybe, Colleen Hoover).

We’ve expanded our collection of manga and graphic novels for kids and young adults. Books in this popular genre fly off the shelves – good thing we have plenty!

Stop by August 8 (or later) for a children’s craft.  Something to enjoy before going back to school.

Enjoy your August transitions and check out our September blog to see what we’ll be doing this fall.
