A variety of programs at Kingston and Little Boston branches will have you admiring an edible rainbow garden as you decorate a stepping stone and then, later in the month, watch a slide show created by a hiker who set a speed record.
Every month you have a chance to discuss books or begin writing one with friendly encouragement.
Whitney continues her storytimes and if you missed Farmers Market Storytimes, which would not have been possible all summer without our fabulous volunteer support, be sure to bring your little ones a fall storytime.
