BURNT RIVER ACTIVITIES GUIDE
OCTOBER 2009

October at the Library
All Libraries in the City of Kawartha Lakes will be running a program called “One Book One Community” during October and November.
Everyone in the City, adults and children alike, are encouraged to read a book called Silverwing by Kenneth Oppel. It is a delightful story about the adventures of a young bat. (appropriate for Halloween month!) This is a unique opportunity for family members to enjoy a common theme. Watch for displays and activities to come during these two months.

Saturday, October 10th & 24th 10:30 a.m. Children’s Bat crafts at Burnt River Library.

October 31 Halloween Night


The Fire Hall will be open for the kids and parents to visit and refreshments will be available. This will also be classed as a safe place.
Open from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Everyone is welcome.


Thought for the Month: “Thank you for thy bountiful blessings and for the richness of the harvest” -------“Trick or treat, trick or treat, give us something good to eat!!” Somehow kids figure out how to deal with these two disparate attitudes in October.
