DINOVEMBER!\"\"<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Dinosaurs are taking over the LIBRARY!!! <\/span>It\u2019s<\/span> DINOVEMBER and dinosaurs are taking over the <\/span>Libraries<\/span>! It is that time again for the beloved program where dino toys and stuffies will spend a couple of weeks hanging out with Libra<\/span>ry staff as we process books, answer phones, lead <\/span>storytimes<\/span>, and more! Dinos will even write postcard<\/span>s to their loved ones<\/span> letting <\/span>them<\/span> know about all the fun stuff they are doing (and how many books they have devoured). To learn more about this program, visit this link<\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n

Did you miss the deadline or don’t have a dino to contribute? No worries, follow the fun on our social media!<\/p>\n
