In lieu of a regular program and potluck dinner, the October meeting instead will focus on a social gathering featuring a “Snack Potluck” – held from 3:00 - 5:00 p.m., outdoors around the fire pit. Everyone is encouraged to bring their favorite snack to share with fellow members. Water and lemonade will be provided by the Historical Society. While enjoying our snacks, we would like to begin the Halloween season by having everyone share something that may have happened to you that seemed beyond the “Outer Limits.” It could be a story told to you by an older adult when you were young, something you saw or heard that you couldn’t explain, a déjà vu experience, an act of divine guidance, or something else. Whatever it is, we want to hear about it. So, plan your snacks to share, think about a story you want to tell, and prepare to have a lot of fun. See you there!

Recommended for ages 2-5, this storytime program includes books, songs, games, and early literacy fun! Audience: Children Location: Community Room For more information visit: sandiego.librarymarket.com
