Calling all little movers, wigglers, and explorers!

Toddler Yoga is a fun and playful way for little ones to learn simple breathing techniques and use their imagination while encouraging body awareness. With simple yoga poses, we'll stretch and play! Join us on Thursday, September 24th, at 10am. Care-givers should be present during the program.

We had a S-P-L-E-N-D-I-D time last night at Middlebury's first annual Adult Spelling Bee! With a great crowd of spellers and an audience at Wedgewood Brewing Company, the competition was F-I-E-R-C-E.

Congrats to our winner, Devin, and our second-place speller, Kathy, who managed to spell words like "obstreperous" and "chartreuse" to win their trophies! Great job and thanks to everyone who participated. 🐝

If you want another chance to spell or watch, the county-wide Elkhart County Adult Spelling Bee will be at Goshen Theatre on Tuesday, September 29th, and anyone 18+ is welcome to participate.

Anyone in our district (Middlebury, Jefferson, and York townships) ages 5+ can get a Middlebury card. Find out more and apply online here: https://www.middleburylibrary.org/get-a-library-card/

Once a month we gather to read a short story or picture book or two and then do a craft or activity related to the book. Books and activities will be selected for adults with developmental disabilities, but anyone is welcome to attend.
