While many families have been busy getting back into the swing of things with a school schedule again, the new month brings new special days and celebrations to observe and think about. September is Library Card Sign-up Month, according to the American Library Association. This year, Snoopy is featured in their promotion:
If you’re a New Lenox resident, and do not have a library card, stop in today for a visit and pick one up! And grab a Fall Program Guide while you’re at it to see what’s coming up over the next few months.
September is also Children’s Good Manners Month. Take a look at this poster first issued to Queensland, Australia schools in 1898. It’s evident that good manners haven’t changed all that much over the years!
Here are just a few books in the library to learn more about manners:
E MAR Monster Be Good by Natalie Marshall
