Join us for a fun-filled October in the Mattapoisett Children’s Room, packed with exciting programs for all ages. We’re kicking off the month by celebrating Fire Safety Month at the Mattapoisett Fire Station on Saturday, October 12 at 1 pm. Children and families will have the chance to meet real firefighters, see them in full gear, and explore the fire trucks and equipment. This event is open to all ages, and no registration is required.
On Wednesday, October 16 at 3:30 pm, patrons ages 8 and up are invited to join us for a Halloween Miniature Terrarium Craft. Let’s get into the Halloween spirit by creating a spooky miniature terrarium using a recycled Qui yogurt jar. Be sure to visit the library or our website to register.
Then, on Friday, October 18 at 3:30 pm, our Graphic Novel Book Club will meet to discuss The Witches’ Wings and Other Terrifying Tales by Tehlor Kay Mejia. Copies of the book are available at the library, and participants can look forward to a lively discussion, a craft activity, and snacks. This event is recommended for ages 9 and up. You can register on our website, and for any questions, feel free to reach out to bsolaris@sailsinc.org.
Bring your little ones (ages 1 and up) to the library on Wednesday, October 23 at 10:30 am for a fun fall-themed activity: the Toddler Toilet Paper Roll Fall Tree Craft. We’ll be using toilet paper rolls to create adorable fall trees, and no registration is necessary.
The spooky fun continues on Thursday, October 24 at 3:30 pm with our Witch Hat and Wand Making event. Recommended for ages 5 and up, children can create their own witch hat and wand. Don’t forget to pick your hat color when you register on our website.
In addition, storytimes will continue throughout the month of October. Fall Storytime, open to all ages, will take place every Thursday at 10:30 am, while Baby Storytime, recommended for ages 0 to 24 months, will be held every Friday at 10:30 am.
