Come play at the library when Kohl Children's Museum's mobile Learning Lab visits on Thursday, September 10. It's a fun way for kids to exercise creativity and build essential skills for their development.

[image description: Lively soft blue text is surrounded by vague shapes that disappear over the edges of the space, looking like crayon doodles in pink, yellow, green, and blue. The library logo is at the bottom of the page. The text reads: Kohl Children's Museum Mobile Learning Lab. Thursday, September 10. 9:30 to 11:30 AM. Meeting Room.]

Did you know that you can teach your child to read in English or Spanish using books and other resources from the Learn to Read wall in the Youth Services Department?

[image description: A panel on the left half of the space contains a photo of a wooden library wall with shelves of books, audio kits, and Launchpad devices designed to teach phonics and early reading skills in English or Spanish. A poster says: Let's Learn the Read! ¡Aprendamos a leer! This panel is overlapped with simple illustrations in each corner, clockwise from upper left: a chubby purple asterisk, a pair of headphones, a Round Lake Area Public Library card, and an open book. On the top of the right half, a yellow panel stretches that full width but is about one-fifth the height. “Know your library” is written on that panel in basic, black lettering. The rest of the right half is a light blue panel with Simple black lettering and the Round Lake Area Public Library logo. Text says: Learn to read.]

No matter what your interest, a library card hits all the right notes. If you don't have one yet, September is the perfect time to sign up. All this month, when you sign up for a library card or renew your card, you'll get an entry for a grand prize drawing. New patrons or current ones will get an entry each time they check out a physical item, too! (one entry per patron per day)

[image description: Two identical graphics in English and Spanish show a boxy red building labeled "Library" that has a gramophone-style turntable and speaker horn on top emitting curls of color, stars, flowers, dots, musical notation, a magnifying glass, a book, a lightbulb, a tablet, a set of headphones, a seed packet, a WIFI symbol, puzzle pieces, a singing bird, and several happy wormlike creatures, all in a jubilant scatter of bright, simple illustrations. This illustration is on a turquoise field with the logos for the American Library Association and Library Champions. The right third of the space is burgundy with text that reads: A library card hits all the right notes! September is Library Card Sign-Up Month.]

The Wayfarer is a patched-up spaceship with an odd collection of crewmates, but that's just the sort of quiet situation Rosemary Harper is looking for. When the crew is presented with the job of a lifetime, things get complicated. Pick up a copy of "The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet" by Becky Chambers and sign up to discuss it in the next Science Fiction and Fantasy Book Club.

[image description: A black background with faint stars has some amorphous blobs of seemingly reflective substance in the upper left and lower right of the frame. Outlined with thin white lines are four discrete pieces of information. 1. "Book Discussion, Science Fiction & Fantasy Book Discussion" is written across the top, while the book cover is in the same outline to the lower right. The cover features a spaceship approaching a planet. Below the cover is the title and author: The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers. 2. Round Lake Area Library logo is at the upper right. 3. "Date: Monday, September 14; 7 PM; Book available at Circulation for checkout" is on the left. 4. A QR code leading to the library calendar and the words "Registration Required" are between outline 3 and the image of the book cover.]
