October at Decatur
Public Library means the library is draped in beautiful quilts for the 40th
Annual Quilt Show. The quilts will be on display from Friday, October 1st,
through Saturday, October 30th, during regular library hours. There
are 47 entries this year and we challenge you to come in and choose just one favorite. You can find more
information about the quilts here.
Another reason to
come to the Library in October is for Outdoor Story Time for kids. The first two Story Times are planned
for Wednesday, October 6th, at 10:00am and Thursday, October 7th,
at 10:00am on the lawn on the Cherry Street side of the Library. If you want to
get emails about these and all other kids’ activities at DPL, sign up for our Youth Services email list here.
We will also host
the Book Club for the Cast of Characters Adult Reading Challenge on the lawn on
Thursday, October 7th, from 12noon until 2:00pm. Bring your chair or
blanket to sit on, information on all of the books you’ve read for the
Challenge since we last met, and join us outside to talk books. We have missed
seeing your faces and talking books!
The October task
for the Adult Reading Challenge is to read
a book with a ghost as a character. It is that time of year when shivers should
come from the weather and the spooky. Or, if you prefer, read a non-spooky story
with a ghost as a character. Just one more task to go and this year’s Challenge
will be finished. Thanks for playing; we hope you are enjoying the Cast of
Characters Challenge!
Happy Reading!
