Brandon Library Family Night & Genealogy for Beginners

November is National American Indian Heritage Month, a time to discover and celebrate the culture, contributions, challenges, successes, and histories of North America’s indigenous people groups.  On Monday, November 18 at 6:00 p.m., Brandon Library Family Night will celebrate (note: this is different from our normally scheduled time on Thursday).  Activities will include doing floor puzzles, making Thanksgiving tangrams, reading a Native American "Giving Thanks" story, munching on snacks, and drinking cranberry juice.

On Tuesday, November 19 at 11:00 a.m., we will also be presenting “Genealogy for Beginners.” During this time, participants will learn how to begin researching their family trees using Ancestry: Library Edition and Heritage Quest. We will also provide handouts with free web links and resources for genealogy.  Attendants should bring their library cards.  They may also use either their own laptops or one provided by the library. 

Also, Brandon's Youth Services Department is hosting an Autumn scavenger hunt through December 20.  Receive your scavenger hunt bag from the children's desk, and when you have found ten of the twelve items, return it for a prize!

And keep looking for ducks!
