FALL NEWSLETTER
As I look out the window from my office desk, it is raining today and very cool, following last weeks temperature in upper 80's and with high humidity. You know you're in New England and the season is about to change.
In the library we can see all the changes as well. Summer visitors are stopping by to check that all their books were returned, a good bye from our friends, and a promise to return next summer. The roads aren't quite as busy, restaurants less crowded and beaches relatively empty.
We at the library enjoyed our busy and hectic summer re-connecting with our summer friends offering many programs for all ages, and taking advantage of Cape Cod at its busiest.
In the summer we concentrate on childrens programs and this summer we, once again,had a Drop In Lego Club run by teens Landon Tarala, Kate Bartley and Luke Eckel. We had over 61 participants who made amazing projects. Our thanks to Luke, Landon and Kate for making this such a run and educational event.
We also held iour 4th S.T.E.M. program in August called Water: Boats, Bubbles & Bouyancy. Over 44 people did penny boat experiments, tried balloon boats, and made giant bubbles in our courtyard.
In our 3rd year of the Dennis Libraries "Little Libraries by the Sea", we circulated over 5200 children and adult books to beach goers at Corporation Beach, Cold Storage and West Dennis beaches - an increase of over 68% from 2017!!!
We now are entering our not so "secret season" - fall! Many folks have discovered what we full time residents have know for years- fall is beautiful, the beaches still perfect for swimming, a slower pace, roads less crowded, warm sunny days and cool nights.
At the library we are getting our shelves straightened, planning our off season programs, and settling into our normal routines. Please stop in and check out some of our autumn offerings.
