El otoño esta por llegar,

los pájaros se marchan,

buscando calor, las hojas

se caen y cambian de

color. El dia es mas corto,

calienta poco el sol. Por

eso agarro un libro y a leer me pongo yo.

Autumn is coming, the birds are looking for warmer

weather, leaves are changing color and falling down, days

are shorter, the sun is hardly warm, that is why I grab a

book and keep myself busy reading.

Nuestro programa Bilingüe en el verano estuvo bastante

concurrido con los niños del campamento de la ciudad, lo

cual fue muy agradable. Si conoces a niños de 2 años en

adelante que estén buscando algo que hacer los

miércoles a las 10:30 am invitalos a que participen en

nuestro programa, donde leemos, cantamos y tenemos

juegos que te divertirán, los esperamos, no falten!

Our bilingual summer reading program was super full

with the kids from summer camp. If you know kids age 2

and older, please invite them to our program on

Wednesdays at 10:30 am. We sing, we read and we play

games.

Te esperamos para que veas los nuevos cambios que se

se van a hacer en la biblioteca pensando en ti, y en toda

tu familia, les agradaran, nuevo olor y mejor acomodo.

Please stay tuned for the new changes that are coming

here in the library, thinking of you and your family. You

will love it, new smells and new arrangements.

Nos Vemos pronto!

See you soon!
