This Week at the Brookfield Library: Storytime, Therapy Dogs, and Baby Hour

The Brookfield Library has a full lineup of family programming this week, all from the library's official calendar.

Tuesday, October 20: Storytime Adventures runs 10:00–10:45 AM in the Community Room for ages 3 and up — registration is required. In the evening, young readers can Read to Mia, the therapy dog, in the Children's Area, with slots at 5:00, 5:15, 5:30, and 5:45 PM; the waitlist is in effect, so book early if your child wants a turn.

Wednesday, October 21: Fun & Friends takes the Community Room from 10:00–11:00 AM, a play-and-social program for ages 6 months to 5 years.

Friday, October 23: Shake, Rattle & Read, 10:00–10:45 AM, a music-and-movement storytime for babies 6 to 24 months.

Beyond storytime, the library's upcoming calendar lists adult and teen programming worth a look — including a Medicare workshop covering 2027 changes, a Google Sheets class, midday Mah Jongg, the teen manga book group (this month's pick is Kagurabachi), calligraphy and book groups, a Halloween storytime with Miss Debbie (costumes encouraged), and a Friends of the Library trivia night at the Brookfield Theatre. Check the library's calendar for dates and registration details on those.

Speaking of the Theatre: Brookfield Theatre's Dracula closed October 10, and Amélie takes the stage November 13 through December 5.
