Did you know that September is Library Card Sign-up Month? It is! When was the last time you visited your local library? Libraries offer so much more than books from free programs and activities to resources for all ages! And let's not forget about all the free books! 😉 If you’re new to your local library, bring your ID and proof of address (a utility bill works) and head to your local branch today. I also recommend signing up for your library’s newsletter to hear about all of their free and fun events.
Speaking of libraries, I had the honor to participate in my library's summer program a few weeks ago. I'm so grateful for this fun opportunity! Enjoy a few photos from the event below.

🚗 Books on the Go
Fall is here, which means classmate birthday parties, soccer games, and lots of time on the go! Children's books make fun and unique birthday gifts and they're also an easy way to keep kids entertained during a sibling's game or activity (no screen required!). Local friends, visitWit and Whimsy Toysand/orOld Haunts Bookshopto find my books along with a number of other great children's books! I never leave either store empty-handed!

Out of all 12 months of the year, September is spelled with the most letters. It contains nine letters, and it happens to be the ninth month of the year.

What do trees do in September? Turn over to a new leaf.
