Dear Families and Students,
Today I’d like to remind folks of all the good stuff to be found at our local libraries. Both the Packwood and Randle branches of the Timberland Regional Library system have lots going on: preschool story times, arts and crafts, activities for teens and adults, and of course books, e-books, audiobooks, DVDs, music, and more to check out. They’re also great hubs for accessing veteran’s services and other government functions. You can call either branch, or both, for directions and their schedule of events: Packwood (360) 494-5111, Randle (360) 497-2665. Or just google it!
Branch hours are . . .
Packwood: Tues 12-7pm, Wed 10am-6pm, Fri 10am-5pm, Sat 10am-4pm.
Randle: Tues 10am-6pm, Wed 1-7pm, Thurs 10am-6pm, Sat 10am-4pm.
In partnership with the Forest Service, the library’s Story Trail is still up and running through the end of the month at the Woods Creek Watchable Wildlife Area, south of Randle. The pages of the wonderful children’s book, Where Would I Be In an Evergreen Tree?, have been made into signs and posted along the trail. You can hike along and read the story as you hike. When I was there in August, I saw a bear up in a tree! Call the Randle branch for directions and details (on the Story Trail, not the bear).
With our fall weather here to stay, my own kiddos like to warm up by the fire with a library book, or listen to an audiobook, after they come in from outdoor play. It’s a great little cozy transition time. I hope your family enjoys reading together, as much as mine does.
Kind regards,
Nathan Coutsoubos, Principal
