Fremont Public Library

Families had an amazing time last night learning about Muñeca María and its significance in the Mexican culture. Rag dolls of various types have a long history in Mexico. Some families will use clothing that had been worn by mothers or grandmothers to dress their dolls. We have more opportunities to learn about Mexican culture in October as we create a Community Ofrenda. We will collect pictures of loved ones who have passed until October 16. The Ofrenda will be on display at the library from November 1-6.

A big Thank You to the teens who participated in Teen Service Hours this past weekend! These might seem like small tasks, but they save our librarians and staff a lot of time. Did you know that volunteer hours look great on college applications? Speaking of you won't want to miss The Financial Aid Process coming up on Wednesday, September 30 at 6:30pm. https://fremontlibrary.org/event/16700564

The library will be closed this coming Friday, September 25 for staff training. As always, digital materials will be available online. https://www.fremontlibrary.org/

Tuesday night, families had the opportunity to get creative and decorate their own tote bag during Tote Bag Printing. Make sure to look and sign up for October programs!

On Monday, we learned about Slime Science. Our patrons learned about the physics and chemistry in relation to slime, and then the opportunity to make their own to bring home! Do your kids love STEM? Make sure to check out STEM In the Stacks in the Youth area of the library to learn about Accessible Engineering the rest of this month.

The Adult Jigsaw Puzzle Competition took place on Saturday. 15 teams competed to see who could finish a 300-piece puzzle the fastest. This is your friendly reminder that October program registration is open!

Take part in the Library's first ever Community Ofrenda. If you have a loved one who has passed and you would like to honor them at the library, please bring a photo or your mobile device that has access to the photo to the Teen Help Desk and we'll help you print the photo or make a photocopy. The ofrenda will be available to view in the vestibule from November 1-6. All ages are welcome to participate.

Join us on Saturday, September 19 at 10:00am for a calming program for children featuring storytime, a relaxing rest in savasana, and playful bubble blowing to help everyone wind down. This storytime is intended for children 5 and under with an adult. Please register.
