Friday, October 30, is a full day at The Brookfield Library, 182 Whisconier Road, with programs running from mid-morning into the late afternoon for both young children and adults.

The day starts with Shake, Rattle & Read, the library's music-and-movement storytime, offered twice: 10 to 10:45 a.m. and again 11 to 11:45 a.m. The sessions mix songs, rhymes, and stories for the library's youngest visitors and their caregivers.

In the afternoon, KinderCrew, for ages 4 and 5, runs from 1 to 2 p.m. The program is aimed at children getting ready for kindergarten, with stories and activities built around early learning.

Adults get their turn from 3 to 4:30 p.m. with Needle Felting for Adults, a hands-on crafting session in which participants shape wool fiber into felted pieces with barbed needles. It is a slower, quieter way to spend a Friday afternoon than the morning's storytimes — and a fitting craft for the last weekend before November.

The morning's two storytime sessions give families a choice of times, which helps on a day when the town's calendar is crowded — the Craft Center's forge event and the evening's football game and Trunk or Treat all share Friday. Parents bringing children to the morning sessions can plan the rest of the day around the library visit, and the afternoon programs give older children and adults their own reason to stop by.

All four programs take place at the library on Whisconier Road. The library's regular hours and full program calendar are posted on its website, and families planning around the Halloween weekend should note that Friday's programs share the day with the Craft Center's Halloween Forged Skull event and the evening's high school football game and YMCA Trunk or Treat.
