Chess Club will meet only once in September and that will be on Sept. 19 at 9:30 a.m. Marty Klubeck will challenge the experts and teach the beginners at this first Fall session. Come and bring your friends.

On Sept. 19 at 1 p.m. the Britannia Society will perform Stone Soup. This old tale takes place when three hungry British soldiers come to a French town where all the food has been hidden. They set out to make soup of water and stones and soon all the town enjoys a feast. Stone Soup may be served to the audience so you will not want to miss this “tasty” story.

From September to Oct. 7, the Preschoolers will march through the jungle listening to stories about monkeys, lions, elephants, hippos and more wild creatures.

There is no registration for these Wednesday programs that start at 9:30 a.m., 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. At every session the children have an opportunity to interact with other kids, receive coloring pages and pick out other books about that day’s wild animal. Our picture book area is brimming with fun stories about the jungle as your children will learn.

Squigglers meet at 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. every Wednesday to learn Mother Goose Rhymes, play in the band, and bend and stretch with Squiggle Bear.
