New program for AGES 10-17

Participants will utilize print and digital media, including databases, to research proper husbandry practices for bearded dragons. Participants will design and implement new tank designs for the Fox Chase Library bearded dragons, with funding from a grant.

If you are interested in this program, please come see Ms. Allegra at the library. We are limited to 10 participants.

Participants will be divided into two groups to better accommodate schedules and small-group guidance from adults.

Fighting censorship is more important now than ever before, and we hope you’ll join us in protecting the freedom to read while uplifting challenged and banned books this week and beyond.

From Timothy:

"I hope October has been treating you well, and Happy Banned Books Week!

We had a great conversation about The Bell Jar at the end of September! I attached our picture from it.

We'll meet next on Monday, October 26th at 5:30pm. No need to prep anything. We'll read a few short stories aloud. I'll let you know which ones once we get closer. Edgar Allen Poe and Shirley Jackson will certainly be included, though! "
