We're all learning the importance of mindfulness - learning to quiet the mind and focus on the present moment. This is just as vital for kids as it is for adults and we are going to spend an hour doing activities that do just that. We'll read stories, learn some breathing exercises, practice some yoga, and create a glitter jar!

Banned Books Week (September 22-28, 2019) is an annual event that highlights the benefits of unrestricted reading and draws attention to censorship attempts. This year's Banned Books Week theme is "Censorship Leaves Us in the Dark. Keep the Light On." Censorship leaves us in the dark by extinguishing information and silencing challenging discussions. But there are places that keep the light on, allowing everyone to access materials from an array of viewpoints.
Celebrate local creative spirit at the Fairhaven Fourth Friday Art Walk. Every fourth Friday of each month (except December) merchants throughout Fairhaven Village open their doors to share the artwork of emerging and established artists. Check out this month's featured artist - Vicki Ledray Grabicki!
Village Books invites everyone to enjoy local talents as they share their own stories, poems and essays! Published and unpublished writers are encouraged to attend and enjoy a welcoming audience. Open mic is usually held the last Monday of each month at 7pm in the Readings Gallery. Sign up at our main counter on the first floor or call (360) 671-2626.
Join the party for drinks, discussion, and much mirth and merriment. Owners Sarah, Paul, and Kelly will be in attendance along with some invaluable VB Reads leaders to dish on favorite books, the world of literature at large, and anything the evening may bring. You don't have to be in a book group to attend—everyone is invited. Libations! Literature! What more could one want?
Tickets are $5 and are available at Village Books and Paper Dreams. Every ticket includes a drink and a fun time!

Let's get ready for Halloween by reading stories about some traditional beasties from folklore. We'll encounter magical creatures like fairies, ogres, unicorns, and abominable snowmen. The sky's the limit! We'll read, sing, do a craft, and enjoy a small snack.
