3. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Got any drama-lovers in your household, grades 3-6? The Community School of the Arts is opening up its Children's Theatre Company for the December performance of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Practice makes perfect, which means classes will start on Thursday, Sept. 1, from 4-6 PM. This group will be limited to 30, so make time to be there if your youngsters want to play a part.

4. Adopt a Reading Buddy
To celebrate Library Card Sign-Up Month, the Miller Branch will have reading “shell” buddies that children can adopt. The only criterion required is that the child agrees to read to their reading buddy for 20 minutes every day! To adopt a reading "shell" buddy, simply stop by the Miller Branch any time during the month of September, starting on Sept. 1. And while you're there, or at the Main Branch, pick up a Tiny Art Kit.
