We wish people a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa and peace during the holiday season.
Drop in during the vacation week to do some crafts as we are going to empty our closets and provide a variety of crafts that you can enjoy.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ... I took a quick nap.
I suddenly got up by a “TERRIBLE” sound. I saw it was dark. I said to my mom and dad, “GET UP!!!” “I need to tell you something! Can I put on my Halloween dress?”
My mom said, “Ummm, well, it's not that dark to be in your Halloween dress, but, it's almost, so, it's O.K.”
I said, “YES, BINGO!!!”
So I put on my Halloween dress and, put all my jewelery to go with it. I am almost a witch! I also put on matching shoes to go with my witch costume. I step down the stairs and went outside. I felt the fresh air blowing when I was outside. I yelled, “ DAD, MOM, NIKITA, KEVIN it's time” Dad and mom (only) came running thinking I got hit by a “BIG, HUGE” truck!!!
They said, quickly, “What happened?”
I said, “What are you talking about? I am totally O.K!! I was just screaming because I wanted you to come outside to go trick-or-treating with me!”
My mom replied, “OH WAIT!!!,” don't forget your flashlight! It's dark I tell you! “VERY”!!! I ran in and got my flashlight, and strolled back outside.
My dad said, “Don't forget to get your Halloween necklace! Remember?”
So I ran and got my Halloween necklace and went back outside. So my dad, my mom, my sister, my brother and me all went trick-or-treating finally! My sister was Harry Potter, my brother was a Transformer, my mom was an Angel, my dad was a Mad Scientist and I was a friendly witch! So we all went trick-or- treating finally. We went to a lot of houses! It was so much fun after all!
When we came back home, we directly went upstairs. We changed and brushed our teeth and we all got to watch a movie. The movie was Madagascar and it was awesome! When the songs came we all sang with it! When the movie finished, we all went upstairs. I turned on the nightlight and tip-toed back to my bed. When I was in my bed, I could hear everybody snoring out loud! It was funny. I tucked myself in and went to sleep, I was sleeping finally. When I sleep the moon grows pale behind the trees. I had the best day ever.

Thanks to all of you who came to the Diwali program. It was heart-warming to see all the kids who came to the library and had fun with the rangoli and the diya-making. You can see the picture of the "toran" (decorative piece to adorn the doorway or entrance to a home) that the kids made. I had as much fun organizing the program as you had participating in it.
Come celebrate Diwali at the library on Monday, Oct 27th from 5 to 6 PM. This program is for children in Grades K-4. We will talk about the spirit of Diwali and make a decorative craft.
