Get Ready for Thrills, Chills, and a New STAR Reader
By Dolores Quintana
It is almost Halloween, and the Donald Bruce Kaufman – Brentwood Branch Library is ready for the last week of the spooky season. The library would like to give a big thank you to everyone who joined us for our Halloween storytime this past Saturday. It was a blast, and we were delighted by the fantastic, adorable, and spooky Halloween costumes on display!
We’re also thrilled to introduce a new STAR Reader to our library this week. STAR Readers are our dedicated volunteers who visit each week to read to the children in our 1st-floor children’s area. Please give a warm welcome to our newest volunteer, Farnaz, who is fluent in English and Farsi. Farnaz will be with us on Saturday afternoons from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. We invite you to drop by this Saturday and say hello!
Just a quick reminder: Monday is our “Lifestyles of the Slimy and Squishy” event. This event has reached full capacity with sign-ups and even has a waitlist. If you’ve signed up, but your child won’t be able to attend, kindly let us know so we can accommodate others.
