OCTOBER HIGHLIGHTS
Join us on Friday October 28, 2016 from 1:00 PM-1:45 PM in the Community Room for Making Music for Preschoolers. Ellen Hoffman will bring bags of multicultural instruments, including drums, maracas, castanets, bells, sandblocks, triangles, and others, plus pom-poms, puppets, books, and other props to ensure that little hands will always be busy. Ellen’s gentle approach to reading readiness blurs the lines between rhythm and reading, instruments and imagination, and music and movement.??
Ages 3-5. Class size is limited due to materials; pick up your free ticket in the Children’s Room starting 30 minutes before the program.
Please note that a separate session will be offered for ages 2-3 on the same day at 10:30 AM.
This program is supported by a grant from the Norton Cultural Council, a local agency, which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency. Cosponsored by the Friends of the Library.?? Contact: Meredith Ruhl ?? 508-286-2696 ?? mruhl@sailsinc.org

Join us on Tuesday October 25, 2016 from 4:45 PM-6:45 PM in the Community Room for a special event.?? Loop by Loop Studio is pleased to host our first Rug Hooking “Hook In!” at the Norton Public Library! This event will be a meet and greet for experienced rug hookers as well as people who are interested in learning this primitive craft. Feel free to bring past or current projects to work on during this two hour long meeting or simply come by to chat and share ideas. For those who are new to rug hooking, we have a wide array of kits and supplies and would love to teach any “newbies” this simple, easy art form.????
