⏰ Don't forget to FALL BACK this weekend! 🍂

Daylight Saving Time comes to an end this Sunday, November 1! At 2:00 a.m., clocks will roll back one hour to 1:00 a.m., giving most of us an extra hour of sleep. 😴

As we turn our clocks back, we'll also notice earlier sunrises and sunsets, bringing those shorter days and longer evenings of the season.

🍁 A friendly reminder: Set your clocks back one hour before heading to bed Saturday night, and enjoy that extra hour!

Have a wonderful weekend! 🕰️

⏰ ¡No olviden ATRASAR sus relojes este fin de semana! 🍂

¡El horario de verano termina este domingo, 1 de noviembre! A las 2:00 a. m., los relojes se atrasarán una hora, volviendo a ser la 1:00 a. m., ¡lo que significa que la mayoría tendremos una hora extra de sueño! 😴

Al atrasar nuestros relojes, también notaremos que el sol saldrá y se pondrá una hora más temprano, trayendo días más cortos y noches más largas.

🍁 Un amable recordatorio: Atrasen sus relojes una hora antes de acostarse el sábado por la noche y ¡disfruten de esa hora extra!

¡Que tengan un excelente fin de semana! 🕰️

Remembering Sir Patrick Stewart (1940–2026) 🎭

The South Sioux City Public Library joins fans around the world in mourning the loss of Sir Patrick Stewart, the acclaimed English actor who passed away October 28, 2026 at the age of 86. With a career spanning more than 60 years, Stewart captivated audiences as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and Professor Charles Xavier in the "X-Men" films, while also earning acclaim for his extraordinary work on stage, including Shakespearean productions. Knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2010 for his contributions to drama, Stewart leaves behind a remarkable legacy across theater, television, and film. ❤️📚

Want to explore more of his life and work? You can find his memoir, "Making It So: A Memoir," in our collection, available in both physical and digital formats, along with other works featuring Patrick Stewart.

Stewart was raised by an abusive father but became best known for playing kind, paternal leaders who united families of misfits.
