This week at the library

Monday 9/23 @ 11am

This week we'll celebrate the beginning of fall! Wear fall colors if you've got 'em! All ages are welcome to join us as we read a book together, sing, make some art, and play together to start our week!

Wednesday 9/25 @ 5pm

Join us for an out of this world evening. Come dressed in your pajamas if you wish. Bring your favorite stuffed friend and a blanket and get cozy. We'll do a little yoga, read some calm quiet stories, and wind down for the night. 

Thursday 9/26 @ 6:30pm

We will be discussing The Queen of Dirt Island by Donal Ryan. Copies of the book are available for check out at the library, and e-book and audiobook versions are available on Libby.

Saturday 9/28 @ 11am

Join us for a suspenseful afternoon of competitive puzzle assembly. Patrons can sign up in teams of between 2-6. All teams will be given the same puzzle and race to see who completes it first!
We will provide the puzzles, you bring the brains! All ages welcome!

Flamin-crow sign up

Flamin-Crows at the Berlin Public Library

With a feathery twist, instead of decorating the traditional Halloween scarecrow, we will be decorating plastic flamingos! Why flamingos? The plastic lawn flamingos have a connection with Berlin. The inventor of the kitschy lawn decoration, Don Featherstone, grew up here in Berlin!

This form registers your interest in participating. Participating means: Getting your very own pink plastic lawn flamingo to decorate to your heart's content and bringing your flamingo back to the Berlin Public Library for a Flamin-crow Party on October 22nd (music, snacks, and costumes)! We will then crown several flamin-crows in fun categories, such as creepiest, best formal wear, sparkles the brightest, etc. Bring your decorated flamin-crow home to adorn your yard for Halloween! Decorated flamingos can be dropped off to join the party if you are unable to attend so they can participate in the judging! Minimum 5 applicants to run the program (not limited to Berlin residents). We will contact you regarding the pick-up of your flamingo(s). Registration deadline: Sept. 30th @ 6:30pm.
